PPP backs Kwaku Duah, the leading independent contender in the Kumawu by-election
In the impending Kumawu by-election, the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has endorsed Kwaku Duah, one of the two independent contenders.
In the 2020 elections for the Parliament, Mr. Duah ran as an independent.
The PPP stated in a statement released on Thursday, May 18, 2023, signed by its National Chairman, Nana Ofori Owusu, that “In the next by-election in Kumawu, in the Ashanti Region, he is the only known plausible independent parliamentary candidate.”
According to the PPP, “Ghana needs an independent voice in parliament to speak for Ghanaians, and Hon. Kwaku Duah is the only credible, competent, and an excellent leader to represent the Kumawu people in Parliament starting in 2020.”
Therefore, the PPP advised all “on the day of the by-election, eligible voters and party members in Kumawu were urged to ignore all forms of coercion, threats, and manipulation and turn out in large numbers to cast their votes for Mr. Duah, who was “number 3 on the ballot.”
Furthermore, it urged Kumawu residents to utilise the by-election “to send the right message to the nation by voting for change” in order to improve the condition of the constituency.
