\n

Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Lydia Seyram Alhassan, has assured all and sundry, especially party faithful, of retaining the seat in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n

She maintained that this can only be achieved through unity and togetherness.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne person cannot do it alone, and that is the reason the Polling Stations [Electoral College] were expanded,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Madam Seyram Alhassan stated this on Friday, January 26, when she was acclaimed as the Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n

This follows the disqualification of Samuel Owusu Amankwa, who had wanted to contest the First Deputy Majority Whip.<\/p>\n

As per the party\u2019s constitution, she was to be acclaimed as an unopposed candidate.<\/p>\n

The event at the Presbyterian Church of Ghana at Shiashie attracted several party officers, including the Greater Accra Region Chairman, Divine Otoo Agorhom, and Regional Organizer Prince Obeng.<\/p>\n

Mr. Otoo Agorhom called for unity, urging the disqualified candidate and his supporters to come on board for the task ahead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need all of them,\u201d he stressed. \u201cThis cannot be a victory for Maa Lydia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two officials of the Electoral Commission, Ghana (EC)\u2014Ruth Arthur and Lydia Egyir\u2014supervised the acclamation.<\/p>\n

As per the outcome, Madam Seyram Alhassan will face John Setor Dumelo again in the contest for who will become MP for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency from January 7, 2025.<\/p>\n
