Kwabre East NPP ready to set new record in December polls

The Kwabre East constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is about to break its own record of having the highest votes in the last general elections.

The constituency garnered 86,437 votes (77.41%) for the Presidential elections and 77,635 votes (69.71%) in the parliamentary elections.

Registered voters for the Kwabre East constituency are 146,000 but come December 7, 2024 the party is poised to improve upon the results of the 2020 elections.

The Municipal Chief Executive, Opoku Agyeman Bonsu, briefing the Ashanti Regional NPP Council of Elders on the constituency campaign trail at a meeting at Mamponteng, on Monday, said the party has targeted 100,000 votes.

He allayed the fears that NPP votes in the Kwabre East constituency were threatened by allegations of disunity and mistrust, and assured that Kwabre East will deliver and maintain its lead in the polls.

He urged the party executives and the campaign team to cooperate with the Parliamentary candidate to ensure a massive victory.

The constituency chairman, Frederick Agyeman Mensah, pointed to the herculean task of uniting all delegates and a seeming factionalism arising from primary. He called for the total reconciliation of party executives and the campaign team and the Parliamentary candidate to execute the NPP’s agenda of breaking the 8.

He admonished the PC to be tolerant and build the trust and confidence of the party executives and work hard to achieve the objective of winning the elections massively.

The chairperson of the Council of Elders, Mrs. Rosemond Appiah-Menka, reminded the constituency executives that the ultimate aim of the NPP in the December polls was to win and retain power, and advised each stakeholder to play the role expected of them to ensure the set objective.

Dr Moussa Jabir Kebir, the Regional Vice chairman of the Council of Elders, reminded the constituency executives, polling station executives and campaign team to be up and doing and add to the number of votes and thus work for percentage increase in votes.

He said all eyes are on Kwabre East, which is the bastion of the party in the Ashanti region, and urged the party to work hard to consolidate the gains of the party in the constituency.

Mr. Victor Owusu Jnr, Secretary to the Council of Elders advised the PC to bring everybody on board to embark on a vigorous campaign trail the last few weeks to the elections.

According to Victor Owusu, the PC, the constituency chairman and the Municipal Chief Executive are the faces of the party and must work hand in hand along the party executives and the campaign team.

Mr. Alex Kuranchie, Board chairman of the Middle Belt Authority and member of the Council of Elders, cautioned the campaign team that the NPP was ‘at war’ with the NDC and urged the party to adopt ideas, policies, numbers and strategies to effectively fight ‘the war’.

Mrs. Elizabeth Agyeman, former Oforikrom MP cautioned against enmity among the executives because there is no permanent enemy in politics.

While Mr Kofi Frimpong, former MP for Kwabre East admonished the executives to build on the foundation laid by founding fathers and former executives to sustain the party, Madam Mary Duodu, Ashanti Regional School Feeding Coordinator encouraged party executives to give out their best because their sacrifices would definitely be rewarded at the appropriate time.

Nana Adu Gyamfi, a member of the Council of Elders also reminded all stakeholders in the party that their allegiance to the party must measure up to 90% and total.

Meanwhile, Dr. Jefferson Asare Danquah, an Accra-based medical practitioner and a native of Ntonso in the Kwabre constituency, has donated 150 party ‘T’ shirts and 250 branded dusters to the Kwabre East NPP constituency to support campaigns in the constituency.
