\u201cI want to remind you that beyond your support for your affable MP, you have a responsibility to canvass for votes in your respective polling stations to help break the eight,\u201d he entreated the delegates.<\/p>\n
He emphasised the need to close their ranks and work towards a common goal of retaining power in order not to truncate the pace of development of the country.<\/p>\n
The Regional Secretary said the role of polling station executives was critical to the fortunes of the party ahead of the 2024 general elections and urged them to step up their campaigns.<\/p>\n
Dr. Adutwum thanked the delegates for renewing their confidence in him and assured them of his unwavering determination to represent their interest to the best of his ability.<\/p>\n

He recounted the massive infrastructural development he had brought to the constituency through their mandate, especially in the education sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a task to accomplish together this year and I urge all of you to put your shoulders to the wheel to retain power collectively,\u201d he implored.<\/p>\n
