Dr. Gideon Boako, the vice president’s spokeswoman, has declared his candidacy for the Tano North seat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He made the decision to keep the seat out of the hands of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), reportedly in response to calls from opinion leaders and delegates.
Dr. Gideon Boako says he is prepared to be the representative Tano North needs and criticizes the current MP, claiming a lack of communication with the people.
On Thursday, December 21, Dr. Boako emphasized his committed service to the party in the constituency and nationally in a press release.
“Dear friends, colleagues, and fellow patriots, with deep gratitude and a resolute spirit, I humbly address you today to formally announce my aspiration to serve the good people of Tano North Constituency in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
“This decision stems from my enduring commitment to our constituency, driven by your unwavering support and the greater welfare of our people and nation,” an excerpt of Dr. Boako‘s statement said.
About two days ago, Mustafa Gbandi, the deputy general secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has counseled Ghanaians to prepare for the general elections scheduled for December 7, 2024, by arming themselves.
Speaking on Okay FM in Accra, Mustafa Gbande of the NDC stated: “I have told the leadership of the NDC that we have to prepare in advance for the NPP ahead of the elections. when we are going to the polling station, let’s carry with us cutlasses. if we do, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will not be able to misbehave toward us.”
Mr. Mustafa Gbandi insisted that, in the opinion of the NDC, arming voters at polling places is the only way to ensure a free and fair election when Kwame Nkrumah Tikese, the show’s host, pressed him to explain his actions as a senior member of the nation’s largest opposition party.
