Campaigns for Awutu-Senya East intensify

With a few weeks to the December 7 polls, campaigns for the Awutu Senya East parliamentary seat in the Central Region have reached a boiling point.

Parliamentary contestants have intensified their campaigns in all the corners of the new constituency, which was carved from the then Awutu–Senya Constituency. 

Four candidates are contesting the seat. They are Nana Kweku Appiah–Kwarteng of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Adams Nuhu of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mavis Hawa Koomson of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Abbey Ishmael Nii Afum of the Convention People’s Party (CPP.)  

Candidates upbeat

The incumbent MP is campaigning vigorously to win both the presidential slot and retain the parliamentary seat in the constituency. 

Madam Hawa Koomson noted that the NPP government under President Kufuor upgraded the Kasoa main road and rolled out many social intervention programmes which Nana Akufo-Addo would continue if the electorate voted massively for the NPP as expected on December 7.

Both the PPP and CPP supporters have also been campaigning day in day out for votes in the spirit of ‘never say die’ to make a positive impart.

The Municipal Chief Executive Officer [MCE]  of Awutu Senya East, Dr Adams Nuhu, who is vying for the position on the ticket of NDC, at the weekend continued his  door-to-door campaign to solicit votes to win the seat. 

At Kasoa Top Town, Dr Nuhu told the Daily Graphic that he was confident that his party would win both the presidential and parliamentary elections in the Awutu Senya East because of NDC’s massive development projects dotted all over the constituency. 

He said contrary to claims that he was not popular in the constituency, a visit to the grassroots would reveal that he was popular and liked by many people.

He added that all he wanted was a peaceful and clean election that would further boost the image of Ghana as far as credible elections were concerned.
