He highlighted the challenges faced by his constituents, including rising living costs and declining agricultural support, which he believes have been exacerbated under the current administration.

His endorsement of Dr Ato Forson, the Member of Parliament for the constituency, reflects his confidence in the NDC’s ability to address these issues.

In his statement, Mr Crentsil praised the leadership qualities of John Dramani Mahama, suggesting that the former president’s track record offers hope for a better future.

He urged his supporters and constituents to consider the broader impact of their votes in the upcoming elections, emphasizing the need for change and a return to policies that prioritize development and social welfare.

This development has sparked considerable debate within the political landscape in the constituency and the Central Region, as Mr Crentsil’s defection marks a significant shift in local political dynamics.
