A Parliamentary aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the Tempane Constituency in the Upper East Region, Alhaji Ibrahim Bashiru, has asserted that he stands as the most qualified candidate to secure the parliamentary seat against the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

He calls upon NPP delegates to cast their votes overwhelmingly in his favor, leading the party to triumph in the forthcoming 2024 parliamentary election.

In his capacity as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer overseeing operations at the Youth Employment Agency, Ibrahim Bashiru will be contending with former Deputy Attorney-General, Joseph Kpemka, in the bid to represent the constituents in Parliament.

Following the submission of his nomination forms in Tempane, Ibrahim Bashiru, in conversation with the media, characterizes Mr. Kpemka's administration as retrogressive and subpar. He expresses his commitment to enhancing the constituents' well-being if entrusted with the responsibility.

"Under lawyer Kpemka's leadership, the constituency has regrettably witnessed a decline instead of progress. We find ourselves moving backwards. This motivates my decision to present myself as an option to the people of Tempane, appealing to their awareness and asking for the chance to become the parliamentary candidate and subsequently the Member of Parliament, ushering in a change of direction."

Bashiru underlines his unparalleled record of development within the constituency and implores for the opportunity to uplift the marginalized area.

He pledges to run a transparent administration and leverage his network and goodwill to advocate for projects that enhance the lives of the constituents.

"I have extended crucial job opportunities to the youth of this constituency. I've aided in the recruitment of over 40 individuals in the teaching sector, more than 1,535 in YEA, as well as many others across institutions such as COCOBOD, SSNIT, GWC, among others.

I am dedicated to representing the Tempane constituents in the Parliament effectively, advocating for development initiatives including hospitals, roads, schools, education, agriculture, and all other essential undertakings that contribute to a more meaningful life in Tempane."

Furthermore, Mr. Bashiru urges fellow party members to refrain from using inflammatory language during the campaign period.

He affirms his commitment to supporting whichever aspirant emerges victorious in the forthcoming parliamentary primaries.
