Team,
My confirmation as the NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Assin North Constituency 2024 is good news for the Assin North Agenda 2024.
This latest news, which must be embraced with good fortune, also demands our attention, support, and hard work.
No one here must be divisible or complacent about our achievements. Unity is key.
The most important thing now is to leave behind everything, whether good or bad, and remain focused. You see, complaining and making excuses don’t get results. Resort to hard work and channel all energies into winning grassroots support so that 2024 will be ours.
Charles Opoku, I very much appreciate everyone in the NEC, Regional Executives and my able constituency executives, the Electoral Area Coordinators, polling station executives, and all party folks for the trust and confidence reposed in me to run again on the party ticket in 2024. It’s about being strategic.
Let’s start now, and as I always say, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
#Assinnorthbeyeyie

Thank you all.
