The Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency covers areas stretching from Santana/Tesano through Abelemkpe, Dzorwulu, Airport, Roman Ridge, East Legon, Christian Centre, Mempeasem, Okponglo, Legon and West Legon.

Ayenu acknowledged the contributions of previous parliamentary representatives, including George Isaac Amoo, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, the late Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko and Lydia Seyram Alhassan, positioning his bid as a continuation of that legacy under new leadership.

"The time has come to reconnect with our grassroots, rebuild our political strength and make history together," he wrote, closing with the rallying call: "Let’s do it together!!! Change is coming!!!”

The lawyer, who had hinted at contesting the NPP primaries in August 2026 will face stiff competition to become the opposition party's candidate for the 2028 elections.

Samuel Owusu Amankwah, a former constituency youth organiser, and Barbara Quashigah, an entrepreneur, philanthropist and daughter of the late Major Courage Quashigah, a former cabinet minister under President John Agyekum Kufuor have both expressed interest in contesting for the primaries in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.

The two are reported to be close acquaintances, adding a personal dimension to what could become a highly competitive race ahead of 2028.
