Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, a former Member of Parliament for Akwatia in the Eastern Region has decided to contest the party's primaries in the Ayawaso East Constituency, Accra.
He is hoping to unseat the sitting NDC MP, Naser Toure Mahama.
Baba Jamal’s argument is that, even though he hails and had lived in Akwatia from where he was first elected as a representative to Parliament on the ticket of the NDC, he has been a resident of Nima for so many years and bought his first house in the neighborhood.
Baba Jamal has since sent out signals that Naser Toure Mahama is “unknown” by the media, not vocal in Parliament and not known by his constituents.
The former MP said it is his intention to fight for what is due Nima and the entire Ayawaso East Constituency if given the opportunity by NDC delegates and subsequently wins the seat in 2024.
His plan is to root for development projects in Nima which is located in the heart of Accra.
”I don’t think Nima is receiving what it deserves,” he said in a radio interview on Accra-based Okay FM, monitored by Graphic Online on Friday morning (Mar 19, 2023).
Baba Jamal, who is a legal practitioner is currently a Deputy Director in charge of Legal Affairs for the NDC.
He served as MP for Akwatia from January 2013 to Jan 2017.
