Mr. Augustus Nana Akwesi Andrews, the Ashanti Regional chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), says his pre-occupation in his second term of office is to work and add to the electoral fortunes of the party in the region.
The party chairman stated that the mandate to lead the party for the second time would spur him on to make Ashanti region NDC’s stronghold in NPP’s backyard.
He intends to do this by improving upon the votes from 26.1% in 2020to 30% plus in the 2024 election as he targets about a million votes for the party.
Nana Kwesi has also urged the electorate to ensure that the party secures more parliamentary seats in the National Assembly
(Parliament).According to him, the NDC has enjoyed so much patronage in the Region,
considered to be the ruling party’s stronghold, for which reason his administration and team of executives would ensure that the Region gets its fair share of development under an NDC government.
The party chairman assured that voters in the region to expect much more developments by the next NDC government.
He said the next NDC government would add to the existing
infrastructure including the Kumasi Kejetia ultra-modern market and the Tafo, Asawase and Atonsu markets as well as Kumasi Shoe Factory, Kumasi Airport Expansion project, Kumawu and Konongo Water supply, under the 3Kwater project, among others.
Nana Kwesi also mentioned Sewua hospital, 37 Military Hospital, Fomena hospital, Kumawu hospital, Tepa and Bekwai hospitals, as well as an Eye Care Centre inside Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) as some of the health facilities the NDC provided.
He assured that more would be added when the NDC comes back to power in 2024.
He said an NDC government would see to improve the road sector and build schools to complement the existing ones built by the NDC at Parkoso Community Day School, Agric Nzema Community Day School, Banka Community Day School, Adobewura Community Day School, Adogyama Community Day School, Droboso Community Day School, Bosomtwe Oyoko Community Day School, Kwabena Kwakrom Community Day School, Asuoso-Offinso Community Day School, Adanse Apagya Community Day School, Adanse Fumso Community Day School, Tepa Manfo Community Day School and Adwira Community Day School.
