The Spokesperson and Economic Adviser to the Vice President, Dr. Gideon Boako, has announced his bid for the New Patriotic Party's Tano North seat.
His decision, influenced by calls from delegates and opinion leaders, aims to prevent the seat from falling into the hands of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr. Boako, who is criticising the current MP, alleges a disconnect with constituents, and asserts his readiness to be the representation that Tano North needs in Parliament.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, December 21, he emphasised his dedicated service to the party both nationally and in the constituency.
“Having dedicated years of service to the NPP, from my early days as a devoted high school student through tertiary education to serving as an active officer of the Party from Polling Station through to regional, and contributing to the government under the NPP's leadership, I am prepared to represent our constituency on our esteemed Party's ticket as a legislator.
"My aim is not to dismantle but to mend broken bonds, bridges, and forge stronger connections moving ahead,” excerpts of his statement said.

Dear friends, colleagues, and fellow patriots, with deep gratitude and a resolute spirit, I humbly address you today to formally announce my aspiration to serve the good people of Tano North Constituency in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
This decision stems from my enduring commitment to our constituency, driven by your unwavering support and the greater welfare of our people and nation.
Having dedicated years of service to the NPP, from my early days as a devoted high school student through tertiary education to serving as an active officer of the Party from Polling Station through to regional, and contributing to the government under the NPP's leadership, I am prepared to represent our constituency on our esteemed Party's ticket as a legislator. My aim is not to dismantle but to mend broken bonds, bridges, and forge stronger connections moving ahead.
This campaign isn’t solely about Gideon Boako; it's a collective endeavor. To advance our party's fortunes in the Tano North Constituency and our nation, unity is paramount.
Known for engaging with people, I am committed to selfless service guided by humility. My candidacy heralds a new era and renewed vigor for the NPP in the Tano North Constituency. It marks a new beginning; a fresh start; and an important, promising turning point (The New Dawn).
I am resolved to revive spirits and infuse our community with vitality, love, and resilience. Our goal is to unify and honor every individual, ensuring no one is left behind. This is a shared duty, and I am devoted to leading this cause.
I entreat you, dear friends, to not sit on your oars but gird your loins for this important and collective pursuit.
Preserving the Tano North seat from slipping to the opposition NDC is our duty. Let us unite for this common good.
Thank you sincerely for embracing this journey of possibilities. It is truly achievable.
The journey starts tomorrow, Friday, December 22nd, as I go to submit my nomination forms. Join me at the Duayaw Nkwanta Methodist school park at 10 a.m., and let's do this together.
God has done it already - Onyame ay3 awie!
