At a press conference hosted at the constituency capital, Asante Agona, Mustapha Kofi Abraham, leader of the youth group, indicated that after accessing the various aspirants’ messages for the party, and constituency, it was without doubt that Barima has plans and a vision for the progress of his people.

“We are amazed by Richard Barima Sarpong, for his life-touching message ahead of the party’s parliamentary contest. He gave us reasons to believe in him after hearing the message of various parliamentary aspirants including the incumbent MP,” he said.

Barima has a more realistic and wise message tailored to address the pressing issues of youth unemployment, and our general welfare.”

“We cannot afford to do ‘try and error’ anymore. We believe that Afigya Sekyere deserves a Member of Parliament like Barima Sarpong who is local, humble, well-educated, and can speak very well on the floor of Parliament. With his background in legal education, we believe Barima can represent our people with dignity,” he said.
