A total of 652 out of 870, representing 75% of New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in the Asante Akim South constituency on Thursday, January 25, 2024 overwhelmingly declared their support for the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Kwaku Asante Boateng.
Many of the delegates, who publicly declared their support to the MP, as he rounded up his campaign at the Asankare Church of Pentecost, described him as the darling ‘boy’ of the area, who has supported their course and brought massive change in the constituency, through developmental projects.
They extolled Kwaku Asante Boateng for his relentless commitment and dedication to the development of the area, especially in the areas of health, sanitation, water and electricity supply, security, human development, education and road infrastructure, among many others.
Shadrach Afriyie, a delegate at the Ofoase Polling Station publicly told Kwaku Boateng that he has won his admiration after securing the tarring of seven (7) road projects in the constituency, totaling 120 kilometers, a significant accomplishment, compared to what was achieved under his predecessors.
“Hon, you have been so amazing to our calls for developmental projects in the constituency. The road infrastructure you have provided to us to facilitate easy flow of our movement has won my heart. It is my prayer that God grants you longer life to continue to do more for us”, she noted.
Another delegate, James Agyenim of Asankare Polling Station said he was more fascinated by Kwaku Asante Boateng’s impact on the various local communities in the constituency and urged other delegates who are yet to decide who to vote for to consider voting for the incumbent MP, since his footprints are there for all to see.
“The roads are there for all to see and are testament to our progress as a constituency. Supply of electricity to thirty-three (33) communities is a game-changer in this constituency. It has really helped to expand our local communities”, he said.
Beyond Kwaku Boateng’s developmental endeavors, the delegates highlighted his commendable attributes, describing his as a kind lawmaker who is not discriminatory.
“Kwaku Asante has fostered an environment of inclusivity and goes beyond addressing our collective concerns with a sense of urgency, exemplifying a dedication to public service. He is our darling boy and we will vote for him 100 times if God gives us the strength and will to carry on”, Essandoh, a delegate from Joaso, who has been following the MP throughout his campaign, told The Chronicle in an exclusive interview.
Their resounding display of unity and endorsement was well appreciated by the MP who took time to acknowledge the support the delegates have been giving him ever since he got their mandate to represent the party and the constituency in Parliament.
As the Asante Akim South constituency gears up for the primaries, the groundswell of support for Kwaku Asante Boateng underscores the profound impact he has made on the constituency.
It is the fourth time he is seeking re-election to enter parliament to represent the NPP and the Asante Akim South constituency.
He is number one on the ballot paper.
