The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has endorsed the 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, as its 2024 Parliamentary candidate for Fomena.
The party unanimously endorsed him at its National Executive Council meeting.
Announcing the NEC’s decision to the leadership of the Constituency on Thursday, the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi said the party is overwhelmed by the kind of support it has enjoyed from the 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament, who is currently the independent Member of Parliament for Fomena.
Chairman Wontumi said the party is highly confident that the Fomena seat will return to the NPP with him as its candidate.
He said such a show of love, support and dedication from Asiamah should not go unnoticed, expressing the party’s gratitude to him for saving its image in Parliament.
Having him return to his roots, Chairman Wontumi said was not a business as usual, but a signal of victory for the constituency and Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
The 2nd Deputy Speaker, in his response, said he has missed everything about the party that was forever dear to his heart.
Asiamah pledged his readiness to lead the party into a historic landslide electoral victory for Dr Bawumia and himself in the Fomena constituency.
He urged all to put behind them, any issue, and work together for the greater good of the party.
To him, what was more important was for the various leaders of the Constituency, particularly Assembly members, to campaign on the many projects currently ongoing in the constituency to garner more votes for the party.
The Regional Chairman’s visit to the Fomena constituency, took him to communities like Adokwai, Dompoase, and Old Edubiase, among others, engaging the constituents on the need to retain the NPP in power, come December 7.
