Director General of the National Lotteries Authority and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Akuapem North Constituency, Sammy Awuku, has set an ambitious goal for the December 7 parliamentary elections.

Mr Awuku aims to secure 70 percent of the total votes, building on the party's 55 percent win in the 2020 elections under MP Abena Dokua.

Addressing party faithfuls after the Ofie Mega Walk in Akropong, he expressed confidence in the NPP’s strategic planning, which he believes will outmaneuver the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

"Today, with the launch of our campaign by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the Akuapem North constituency, we reflect on our 55% parliamentary vote in 2020. As we gear up for the 2024 elections, our focus is on securing 70% of the votes through strategic planning," he said.

Mr Awuku attributed the NPP’s anticipated victory to their robust strategy, which he claimed the NDC would not comprehend. He praised Dr. Bawumia’s energy and dedication, urging the youth to prioritize their future and prepare psychologically and strategically for the election.

"The NPP’s victory will be driven by our solid strategy, which the NDC will not understand. Dr. Bawumia’s energy and dedication inspire us all. I implore the youth to prioritize their future above any other thing," Awuku stated.

He further emphasized that the NPP would not be intimidated by the NDC, calling on the youth wing to be ready for the challenges ahead.

"In Salam Mustapha’s Youth Wing, we have a well-oiled, resourced and competent youth machinery to produce victory in 2024. But this election, the youth wing of the NPP must be psychologically prepared and strategically positioned to ensure victory is achieved. I want to tell the NDC, we will not be intimidated," he asserted.

Awuku assured supporters that the election would be conducted fairly and warned that if the NDC lost, they might take the results to court. Drawing from his own legal experience, he expressed confidence that the results would stand firm.

"This election will be conducted fairly. If they lose, they will, as usual, take it to court. Having experienced contempt proceedings previously, I am well-versed in court matters. Therefore, no one can dispute the results. I want to assure you a vote for Dr. Bawumia is a vote for your future," Awuku concluded.
