The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) 2024 parliamentary candidate for Amenfi West, Akwasi Adrifa, has declared support for Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the party’s upcoming presidential primaries, describing the Vice President’s proposed policies as a game changer for neglected constituencies.
Speaking during Dr Bawumia’s campaign tour of the Western Region, Mr Adrifa praised the presidential hopeful’s pledge to ensure equitable distribution of national appointments and development resources across constituencies.
He said Dr Bawumia’s commitment to giving each constituency at least ten presidential appointments would address long-standing feelings of marginalisation among grassroots party members and communities that have yet to benefit from political representation at the national level.
“This is one of the reasons why I support Dr Bawumia, because in this constituency we have been completely neglected, having voted consistently for the NDC. So if Bawumia is saying he will do ten constituency-based appointments, it means that history will smile on Amenfi West because for 33 years we have never had a minister, a deputy minister, or a CEO. We’ve only had an administrator,” Mr Adrifa said.
