The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Akuapem North, Sammi Awuku, is mobilizing supporters with a goal to secure 75% of the vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

He emphasized that achieving this target would solidify the NPP’s dominance and advance the party’s mission of breaking the eight-year governance cycle—a milestone yet to be reached in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.

During the 'Mega Ofie Walk' at Mampong Coronation Park on Saturday, August 3, 2024, Mr. Awuku underscored that reaching this goal would ensure a decisive victory for the NPP, particularly when combined with similar successes across other constituencies in the Eastern Region and beyond.

Recalling the 2020 elections, where the party garnered 65% of the popular vote with former candidate Dokuah Asiamah Agyei, Mr. Awuku urged the crowd to build upon this achievement.

He encouraged supporters to work diligently to surpass this performance and fortify the NPP’s stance against the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

“With your support, we can build on our past achievements and make the goal of breaking the eight-year governance cycle more attainable,” he said.

Mr. Awuku framed the 2024 general elections as a pivotal choice between progress and stagnation, urging voters to consider which party best aligns with their interests.

“Elections have profound implications for our future. A vote for the NDC is a vote for regression. The NDC will undo the solid foundations laid by the NPP, as they have done in the past.”

He expressed confidence in Dr. Bawumia’s ability to introduce innovative policies in the next government and acknowledged the current economic challenges faced by Ghanaians.

“Ghana has been fortunate to have had excellent leadership managing the economy through the challenges of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. Signs of economic recovery are clear, and soon Ghanaians will enjoy the benefits they have been waiting for,” he said.

The event saw the presence of prominent figures including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, NPP Chairman Stephen Ayesu Ntim, Eastern Regional Chairman Jeff Konadu, Eastern Regional Minister Seth Acheampong, National Women’s Organiser Kate Gyamfua, and several parliamentary candidates.
