Lawyer Lasi Eyes Lower Manya Krobo Seat

A former Regional Deputy Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Benedicta Lasi, has filed her nomination as the Parliamentary candidate for the Lower Manya Krobo constituency.

The candidate who is also a lawyer by profession was accompanied by branch executives and party stalwarts who trust her vision and leadership.

She was received by the constituency secretary, Frederick Atenas Okoro, who, in his capacity, checked the details of her endorsements and gave satisfactory remarks.

She later addressed delegates and party supporters on her vision for Lower Manya and her commitment to party work, being former constituency executive member and former regional deputy youth organiser.

In her delivery, she assured delegates that, ‘Your change and replacement would serve the party right geared towards maximization of votes during 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections.’

She bemoaned the slim margin victory that occurred to the party during the 2016 as unprecedented.

‘We have sold 19,000 votes to the NPP and that is an abysmal performance and a dip in our electoral fortunes,’ she said.

In her development agenda message towards building a constituency party office, she said that ‘since 1992, the NDC has had MPs up till date and are unable to build a constituency party office to accommodate all constituency executives and as well keep official documents and records for predecessor-ship.’

Lawyer Lasi, assured delegates of her readiness towards the election. “I am assuring you of my readiness to lead this party and my first tenure in office would experience the construction of a constituency party office.”

She urged all well-meaning NDC supports in the constituency to be part of her campaign for “the revolution we all anticipate to see”.

Lawyer Lasi, added ‘Your vote is a vote for a new direction, development and a transformation in our individual life.’
