The Member of Parliament for the Atiwa East constituency, Abena Osei-Asare has submitted his nomination forms to the Electoral Commission to contest the seat once again.
The MP who doubles as the minister of state at the finance ministry was joined by enthusiastic party supporters and well-wishers to file her forms at the district EC office on Monday.
Notable personalities who accompanied her to the EC office were the constituency chairman, Albert Nuamah and her husband, Kweku Osei-Asare.
After successfully filing her nomination, she urged the electorates, in a short address, to vote massively to retain her as their MP and Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the ruling NPP.
"Today, I have been able to file my documents, as I was doing it here our party flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia was also filing the same in Accra. I'm convinced that you will vote to retain me as your MP because of the many developments I have brought to this area. Whilst you vote massively for me on December 7, I will also urge you to vote for the party's flagbearer, Dr. Bawumia so we can work together to bring more development to Atiwa East," she stated
Abena Osei-Asare was once again elected as the NPP parliamentary candidate for Atiwa East on January 27.
She secured a landslide victory by polling 288 votes to beat her main contender, Eric Ofori Agyarko who secured 67 votes.
The others, Frank Baning and Ernest Adade Wiredu garnered 11 and 44 votes respectively.
She will be running for her fourth term as a Member of Parliament for the area if elected on December, 7.
