Kobby Mensah, a candidate for the Ablekuma West Constituency in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), claims that he is ready to take the party to victory.
Speaking on Adom TV’s Dwaso Nsem, he said that after working for the party for a long time, he has acquired certain experiences.
He said that he was crucial to the victories of current Ningo Prampram MP Sam George and previous Ningo Prampram MP Enoch Teye Mensah.
“I have served the party in constituencies like Ablekuma West and Ningo Prampram. But pushing others in Ablekuma West to win the seat for the party has not been working. So I asked myself if Kobby Mensah will continue to be backdoor and continue to be pushing people to go and win the Ablekuma seat or not.
“I helped E.T. Mensah and Sam George to win elections. This proves that I have what it takes to win elections,” he said.
The business tycoon claimed that while he was interested in running in 2020, he would need time to prepare.
He said that since the constituency plays a significant role in determining who wins the presidential elections, if he wins the primary, the opposition party and former President John Mahama will prevail in the general election.
“The NDC is facing challenges in parliament because we lost the Ablekuma West seat. We invested so much into the elections to ensure an easy swap of seats from NPP to NDC
“I’m the fourth and last candidate because I wanted to prepare well before contesting. I know the party has been in opposition for eight years now.
“When I win the seat it will be untouchable for the NPP,” he concluded.
Four contenders are vying to represent the NDC in the 2024 general election as the party’s presidential and parliamentary primaries get near.
The Ablekuma West seat is thought to be a bastion for the NPP.
Currently serving as the MP for the Ablekuma West Constituency is Minister for Communications Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
