NPP aspirant vows to snatch Ningo Prampram seat from Sam George

Patricia Narko Nartey, a prospective New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate for the Ningo-Prampram parliamentary primary, has formally submitted her candidacy paperwork.

She promised significant improvement when the forms were turned in at the local party office.

“I hail from this constituency, my mum is a native. I have this constituency at heart so I pay critical attention to the happenings here. Men have led for a long time now, it’s time for change. Women make an impact so I have filed to contest in the 2024 elections.

“If God permits, a woman will be allowed to charge and help women in the constituency. The wellbeing of a woman means the well-being of her husband and home. I want to show the people of Ningo Prampram my compassion. I will work with everyone so that the constituency can progress,” she said on Accra-based UTV.

Al-Latif Tetteh Amanor, the district chief executive (DCE) for the district, said that incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) Sam George had let the populace down.

He claims that despite Rebecca Akufo-Addo, the first lady, being a native of the constituency, Mr. George has failed to enlist aid for the populace.

“Government holds this constituency at heart. What the MP is doing is not helping us. As an MP of Ningo-Prampram where the first lady hails from, you should be mindful of your utterances and humble yourself so that whatever help she can offer is given but that is not the case. It is time for change, and we will make sure NPP secures the seat in 2024,” he said.

Party leaders urged additional candidates to pick up applications before the deadline.

The spokesman said that whoever wins the parliamentary primary, the party would put in a lot of effort and support in other to win the 2024 general elections.
