The Ashanti region chairmanship race of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) promises to be keen when nominations open in November.
Mr Yaw Owusu Obimpeh, a former Regional chairman of the party has declared his intention to wrestle the position from the incumbent, Augustus Nana Kwesi Andrews.
At a meeting with the media in Kumasi last Saturday, Obimpeh said he is coming back to ensure that the NDC wins the 2024 general elections to champion total development, especially in the Ashanti region.
The aspirant, who is claiming credit for building the regional party office during his tenure says his decision is premised on the abysmal performance of the Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo led government.
Mr Obimpeh noted that former President John Dramani Mahama had made the NDC more attractive compared to the NPP, in terms of good governance.
According to him, Ghanaians experienced a lot of developments under an NDC government, hence the need for a united force and to ensure victory at the 2024 elections and rescue the ailing economy.
He claims he is tried and tested and expressed the hope to win the chairmanship race.
The former party chairman pledged to work with everybody in the party, irrespective of one’s tribe or religious denominations, as well as strengthen the party’s structures to empower the branch executives.
He also promised to ensure that the remaining constituencies have their own permanent offices when re-elected as the Ashanti regional chairman of the NDC.
