New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially selected Andrew Amoako Asiamah, the 2nd Deputy Speaker of Parliament, as their 2024 parliamentary candidate for Fomena.

This endorsement came during a National Executive Council meeting, where the decision received unanimous support.

The NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, better known as Chairman Wontumi, conveyed the party’s enthusiasm over Asiamah’s endorsement to the constituency's leadership on Thursday.

Chairman Wontumi highlighted the significant support Asiamah has provided the party, noting his current role as the independent MP for Fomena.

Expressing confidence in Asiamah’s candidature, Chairman Wontumi emphasised that his return to the NPP fold signals a promising future for the Fomena constituency.

He commended Asiamah for his unwavering dedication and the positive impact he has had on the party’s image in Parliament.

According to Chairman Wontumi, Asiamah’s candidature is more than just a routine move; it represents a strong step towards victory for both the constituency and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

In response, the 2nd Deputy Speaker, Andrew Amoako Asiamah, expressed deep emotion, sharing how much he had missed everything about the New Patriotic Party (NPP), a party he has always held dear to his heart.

With renewed enthusiasm, Asiamah pledged his full commitment to leading the party to a historic landslide victory, not only for himself but also for Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, in the Fomena constituency.

Asiamah urged party members and supporters to set aside any past grievances and come together to work for the greater good of the NPP.

He emphasized that unity and focus were crucial at this time. What truly mattered, he noted, was for leaders in the constituency, especially Assembly members, to actively campaign on the many ongoing projects in Fomena.

By showcasing these developments, he believed they could attract more votes and strengthen the party’s position in the upcoming elections.

The NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako (Chairman Wontumi), accompanied Asiamah on a visit to several communities within the Fomena constituency, including Adokwai, Dompoase, and Old Edubiase.

During these visits, they engaged with local residents, urging them to continue supporting the NPP as the December 7 elections approached, highlighting the importance of retaining the party in power for the benefit of the entire region.
