Mr Adamu Dramani, Member of Parliament (MP) elect for Bawku Central in the Upper East Region said on Tuesday that the most important preoccupation during his tenure would be to reconcile and unite the people in the constituency to enhance development.
Until his recent return to Ghana, Mr Dramani had been working as an Accredited Security Management Specialist (ASMS) in the United Kingdom.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) shortly after he had been declared winner of the Bawku parliamentary seat, Mr Dramani said the people of Bawku deserved commendation for observing one of the most orderly and peaceful polls last Sunday.
He attributed the success of the exercise to the diligence of the security agencies who responded promptly to emergency situations during the polls, and the determination of the people to demonstrate to the rest of the nation that they were ready to put the past behind them.
"Remarkably, I received a lot of support from the Kusasi, Hausa and Moshie sections just as I got from the Mamprusi side, so I consider myself an MP for the entire population of Bawku," he said.
Mr Dramani won the seat on the ticket of the New Patriotric Party (NPP) and polled 20,157 votes to beat his main contestant and incumbent MP, Mr Mahama Ayariga of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), who polled 17,385 votes.
