Mrs Mensah, who is the incumbent MP and doubles as the Deputy Minister of Health was the only candidate, who officially filed and submitted her nomination when the Party opened nominations.

The process leading to the acclamation started on Thursday, June 18, and ended on Saturday, June 20, and was supervised by the Electoral Commission.

The Constituency, which has 14 Electoral Area has 640 delegates.

Mrs Abigail Onassis-Fiadjoe, the Wejia- Gbawe District Electoral officer, who made the acclamation said the incumbent MP was the only Candidate, who filed her nomination to be re-elected.

She said with that it meant that Mrs Mensah was going as an unopposed candidate for the Constituency.

Mrs Mensah commended the delegates for the confidence reposed in her and the opportunity to represent the Constituency for re-election come December 7, 2020.

She said through her efforts and collaborations with the Municipal Chief Executive of the Weija-Gbawe Municipal Assembly, investors have come forward for the establishment of a cement factory, which would create 13,000 direct jobs, where 2,000 direct jobs would be allocated to the Constituency.

She called on delegates to continue to champion peace and understanding in the Constituency to promote the interest of the Party.

The incumbent MP urged the delegates to stop destroying her image and rather channel the energy to the well-being of the Party.

He thanked the delegates for their support to the Constituency Executives in the discharge of their duties.
