According to Mr Rahman, the incumbent MP has lost touch with the constituents.

Abdul Rahman who was born and bred in the Greater Accra Region constituency said he has been at the forefront of a campaign to improve the lives of people, especially the youth, in the area.

The young MP aspirant believes that his track record as a social activist who knows how to mobilise the youth for development believes, he can unseat the incumbent MP.

In his effort to alleviate poverty in the area, Mr. Rahman is currently working towards forming a cooperative society that would provide loan facilities to support small scale business men and women.

The form was presented to him by Mr Eric Agbenyo, General Secretary for the Ayawaso North constituency of the NDC.
