A Ghanaian chartered accountant who is aspiring to be the parliamentary candidate in the upcoming NPP primaries is confident of stealing the Ledzokuku Constituency seat from the incumbent NDC, Mr. Benjamin Narteh Ayiku, if given the shot to lead the party.
The former 2nd vice chairman of the constituency believes he has what it takes to bridge the political divide and win the seat in the 2024 elections and has urged delegates to support him.
Bridging the political divide between young people and political parties necessitates creative strategies that recognize the valid concerns of young people, he explained.

He believes that the party faithful have confidence in and trust him.
He also assures that he will bring in accountable leadership to guarantee their (constituents) concerns are heard in parliament.
