There is one hurdle, however, to surmount as he had to go past Gloria Boadu.
Receiving the forms on behalf of the party, the constituency chairman, Boakye Yiadom called for unity and decorous campaign devoid of name-calling and mudslinging.
Phillipina Akyea, a Managing Partner of Zoe, Akyea & Co and Founder & Executive Director of the Pinamaa Foundation, complimented the supporters of all the candidates for their decorum.
“We are one people and we have the same vision - the development of Abuakwa South Constituency and the advancement of the nation Ghana as a whole. The overall interest of the great elephant party should guide us in all we do,” she said.

“We love him...If you know Atta Akyea, you will just love him, the man is simple but hard-working,” Patience Asare, a party faithful said.
“He has brought boreholes to communities. He has brought school buildings, roads, streetlights, the CHPS compound, and a lot more. Many children are in school because he is ever ready to assist a needy child,” Ms Asare added.
