An aspirant making a third attempt to contest as a parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Kwadaso Constituency is confident of victory in the party’s upcoming primaries in Kwadaso.
Lawyer VIncent Frimpong Manu, who contested in the 2016 and 2020 parliamentary primaries of the NPP is making another attempt. He is confident of emerging victorious this time.
In the previous internal elections, lawyer Vincent Frimpong Manu now contested incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Prof Kingsley Nyarko.
Ahead of the January parliamentary elections of the party, Vincent Frimpong Manu and Kingsley Nyarko are the only persons who have so far shown interest to go into the contest and lawyer Vincent Frimpong Manu has completed the processes by filing his nominations.
NPP delegates and supporters in the Kwadaso Constituency thronged the party’s office and showed massive support for lawyer Manu when he went there to file his nominations.
According to the delegates, the slogan meant that they were not interested in taking money from the aspirant, but they have thrown their support for Mr. Frimpong Manu since they believe he is the right parliamentary candidate for the NPP in the 2024 general elections.
Addressing journalists after completing processes to file his nominations, lawyer said his aim was to ensure the image of the constituency was projected and the well-being of constituents improved.
“I am happy, and the support I am enjoying now from the delegates and the constituents, it shows the level of will of change passing through this constituency. They need hope and this is the new hope,” he said
He indicated that he does not take his two attempts in the previous primaries as defeat, but rather a period when the delegates and constituents of Kwadaso were not ready.
He further explained that the constituents and delegates are clamouring for new hope and change, but his team will not be complacent going into the elections.
The aspirant added that elections were not the will of a single person, but the will of the individuals in the constituency.
He, therefore, called for civility in the campaign devoid of propaganda, lies and utterances that will divide the party in the constituency.
He is however optimistic that the NPP will retain power in the 2024 general elections and urged party supporters to unite behind Dr Bawumia 2024.
