Naada Jinapor, the wife of the Lands and Natural Resources Minister, Samuel Abu Jinapor, has entered the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primary race in the Kintampo South constituency.
A group calling itself Friends of Lawyer Naada Jinapor picked nomination forms on her behalf on Friday.
The group, led by Nana Akwasi Owusu, said Mrs Jinapor deserves to be given the chance to lead the NPP to wrestle power in the 2024 general election.
Speaking in an interview with Adom News, Mr Owusu indicated that, Mrs Jinapor is the only person to transform the constituency when elected.
He stated that, the aspirant has her footprints and track record in the area, adding she will continue to work hard to bring development to the people while advancing and supporting the vision of the party.
Touting her as a unifier, Mr Owusu added that, Mrs Jinapor will bring peace and help the party retain the seat.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the party's Council of Elders, George Bomey, has asked aspirants to submit on time to meet the December 25 deadline.
He urged them to refrain from campaigns of insult and things that will create disturbances.
The seat is currently being occupied by the NPP's Alexander Gyan as the incumbent MP.
However, it is unclear if he will seek re-election or not.
