The Paramount Chief of Ejisu, Oguakro Afrane Okese has appealed to the elders of Ejisu Zongo to massively vote for the independent candidate in tomorrow’s by-election at Ejisu constituency.
In a meeting with the Zongo Caucus, Nana Oguakro Afrane Okese said Aduomi is the people’s choice.
In the 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections, Mr. Kwabena Owusu-Aduomi polled 57,278 votes (82.34%), 51, 976 votes (80.52%), 54,508 votes (83.79%) respectively to maintain the seat for the NPP.
Nana Oguakro Afrane Okese told the leadership of Ejisu Zongo Caucus at his Palace over the weekend that Ing. Kwabena Owusu-Aduomi is his son and urged the good people of Ejisu to vote for him to come back and continue the developmental projects he initiated previously during his tenure as MP but have been abandoned.
The Omanhene stressed that “Owusu-Aduomi is the best person to turn things around to make Ejisu more attractive to both local and foreign investors”.
He also implored every constituent to support the former MP to make Ejisu great again.
The former MP is staging a comeback after the chiefs and people of Ejisu appealed to him to come and rescue the constituents from neglect.
The seat became vacant following the demise of the Member of Parliament, John Ampontuah Kumah, on March 7, 2024.
Lawyer Kwabena Boateng, Esther Osei and Beatrice Boakye are contesting on the tickets of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Convention People’s Party (CPP) and Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) respectively in tomorrow’s by-election.
Three other candidates, namely Kwabena Owusu-Aduomi, Joseph Fredua Agyemang and Joseph Atakora are contesting as independent candidates.
Political watchers say the by-election is between NPP’s Lawyer Boateng and Independent candidate Engineer Owusu-Aduomi.
