Solomon Kwame Asumadu, the CEO of Owuo Mining Company, has been formally approved by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as their Parliamentary Candidate for the next Akwatia by-election.
Instead of holding a contested primary, the party’s leadership reached a consensus and chose Mr. Asumadu.
Party insiders claim that the decision shows a united front intended to hold onto the seat and maintain party unity before the national elections in 2024.
Mr. Asumadu is a “dedicated patriot and accomplished entrepreneur whose experience and community engagement make him the ideal choice to represent Akwatia,” according to a brief statement from the NPP.
Party executives and local stakeholders are hopeful that Mr. Asumadu’s candidacy will be well received by voters because of his broad philanthropic endeavors and dedication to local grassroots development.
The vacancy left by the passing of the current Member of Parliament, Ernest Kumi, is being filled by the by-election in Akwatia.
The poll date is anticipated to be announced in the next few days by the Electoral Commission.
It is anticipated that Mr. Asumadu will launch his campaign right away, concentrating on bolstering party support and interacting with voters regarding his development agenda.
