"We are preparing for the bigger contest ahead in 2020. And I know victory will be ours. But let’s unite first,” the lawyer said.
The deputy minister was speaking during meetings with polling station executives and constituency officers of the party in the Hemang Lower Denkyira constituency.

Mr Wireko–Brobby explained that they will all have to work together to ensure victory for President Akufo–Addo and himself in the 2020 elections.
According to him, it is the interest of the NPP that should be placed first above all other things, and not the individual interest of any party member.
The NPP will on April 25, hold primaries across the country to elect parliamentary candidates for the 2020 elections.
The MP explained to them the essence of parliamentary primaries is to deepen democracy at the grassroots level for the benefit of ordinary Ghanaians.
