Former Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Doe Adjaho, is urging residents of Frankadua and its environs in the Asuogyaman constituency to elect a National Democratic Congress member as their legislator during the 2024 parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n

He said this would help bring development after the election of John Dramani Mahama as president in the upcoming general elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking during former President Mahama\u2019s tour of the Eastern Region, the former speaker noted that, although politics should not be based on tribal lines, the people of Frankadua would be better off with an NDC parliamentarian in the next NDC government.<\/p>\n

He, however, urged the residents not to sell their votes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see a rat in the afternoon, you should know it is being chased by a wild animal. And what has chased us is why I am here. Don\u2019t let anyone deceive you by practising tribal politics. What you\u2019re trained with is what you practice. I\u2019m telling you not to be deceived with money because if you take that money, you\u2019re equally selling your birthright. You may not get that money in the future again, which will affect your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleading with the chiefs not to be deceived. If you elect a chief in Frankadua, you cannot select his spokesman from Accra, so I\u2019m asking you to elect an NDC person to represent you in Parliament as you elect John Mahama as the president. You\u2019ve seen what is happening in the country, things are hard now, so for a better future don\u2019t look at what will be given you. I\u2019ll urge you not to take the money, but to vote against them.\u201d<\/p>\n
