Only a United Front can recapture Akwatia MP seat for NPP

It is becoming clear that only a united front will be able to recapture the Akwatia MP seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2024 polls.

This observation was made by Nana Obeng- Danquah, a parliamentary hopeful for Akwatia  NPP, in a congratulatory message to the new executives of the constituency.

He said all the newly elected officers  deserved the positions they won, and charged them to be fair and firm in taking decisions in order to bring unity among the party people.

The parliamentary hopeful bemoaned the current trend of factionalism or camps within the party saying, that will not auger well for the NPP.

What is  obvious is that the Akwatia constituency of the New Patriotic Party is now sharply divided between the two factions: Mercy Adu Gyamfi aka Ama Sey, a former Akwatia MP, and Ernest Kumi, the defeated NPP parliamentary candidate for 2020 general elections.

According to Obeng-Danquah, no faction can win back the seat stating that, “only a united front will be able to recapture the Akwatia seat because the constituency is not yet a safe one, it swings.”.

He further added, ‘let no one deceive himself or herself that with a divided front they a unique strength to win the seat, rather it’s a united front that wins the Akwatia seat.’.

The parliamentary hopeful said for NPP to break the eight(8), the party needs a unifier with strong leadership to carry everybody along to ensure victory in 2024.

He entreated party people to eschew divisive tendencies adding, NPP is bigger than any individual so we should stop worshipping some personalities.

He commended the eastern regional executives of the NPP for conducting a free and fair elections from polling station, area coordinators, and constituency executives for the Akwatia NPP.
