The Newly elected Parliamentary Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for Nadowli Kaleo says Alban Bagbin's 24-year reign in the constituency has lacked stewardship.

Elvis Banoemuleng Botah while addressing some delegates of the NPP in the constituency said the reign of the Majority Leader of Parliament has worsened the plight of constituents.

"The people are only going through massive suffering. Today we cannot talk of good educational standards and infrastructure. Potable drinking water is something far from our dreams," he noted.

The 27-year-old Business and Project Consultant was popularly acclaimed as the NPP parliamentary candidate for the 2016 polls at an emergency congress at Nadowli in the Upper West Region.

This followed a decision by the party’s parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Dr. Robinson Boye Bandie to step down due to personal reasons.

The Upper West Regional Chairman of the NPP, Abdul Rahman Abubakar Short, called on supporters of the party to rally behind the candidate for victory in the November polls, Joy News' Rafiq Salam reported.
