The Managing Director (MD) of the Ghana Publishing Company, David Boateng Asante, has picked forms to contest the New Patriotic Party's (NPP) parliamentary primaries at Nkawkaw in the Eastern Region.
Mr Asante picked up the forms on Wednesday, December 20, at the party’s constituency office.
Speaking to the media after picking the forms, he stated that his decision follows extensive consultations with party stakeholders in the constituency.
He added that he is committed to providing quality leadership, and said he aims to ensure that Nkawkaw takes its rightful place in Ghana's politics.
"I am the man the Nkawkaw people are calling for at the moment and I am ready to do the job for them. I won't disappoint them and I will be the Member of Parliament they yearn for. I am a son of the soil and I understand their needs better," he said.
In his commitment to the welfare of party delegates, Mr Asante has established a Delegates Welfare Fund, contributing GH¢20,000 to support their needs.
Additionally, he pledged to create job opportunities for the people of Nkawkaw once elected.
He emphasised the importance of building the human resource capacity of the constituents and focusing on infrastructure development in the area.
This is Mr Asante's second attempt to lead the NPP in the constituency, reflecting his determination to contribute to the political landscape in Nkawkaw.
