Akufo-Addo’s Former Lawyer Makes Bold Move for Ablekuma West NPP Parliamentary Seat

Former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s legal counsel, Kow Essuman, has officially filed his nomination to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary in the Ablekuma West Constituency.

The development marks a significant step in Essuman’s political ambitions as he positions himself to secure the party’s endorsement to represent the constituency in Parliament.

Essuman, who previously served as legal counsel to former President Akufo-Addo, is seeking to translate his experience in legal practice and public service into a political leadership role within the NPP.

His decision to enter the parliamentary race is expected to add another dimension to the contest, particularly as the party prepares to select a candidate capable of representing its interests and winning the confidence of voters in Ablekuma West.

By filing his nomination, Essuman has formally demonstrated his readiness to participate in the internal electoral process and compete for the opportunity to become the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency.

His professional association with the former president is also likely to attract attention, given Akufo-Addo’s prominent position in the party and his influence during his years in government.

However, Essuman will have to convince party delegates that he possesses the political experience, leadership qualities and grassroots connections required to secure their votes.

The Ablekuma West parliamentary primary is expected to be an important exercise for the NPP as the party works towards strengthening its political structures and identifying individuals capable of advancing its electoral fortunes.

For Essuman, the contest represents an opportunity to move beyond his previous responsibilities as a legal adviser and pursue a more direct role in Ghana’s political decision-making process.

His nomination also signals the growing interest among individuals with professional and governmental backgrounds in seeking parliamentary representation through the NPP.

As the internal contest gathers momentum, attention will be focused on whether the former presidential legal counsel can successfully convince delegates to entrust him with the party’s parliamentary ticket.

Ultimately, the outcome of the primary will determine whether Kow Essuman gets the opportunity to carry the NPP’s flag in Ablekuma West and pursue a seat in Ghana’s Parliament.
