Kumawu byelection: PPP supports independent candidate
The party believes Ghana needs an independent voice in parliament and Kwaku Duah is the only credible candidate to represent Kumawu
The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has declared support for Kwaku Duah, an independent candidate, in the upcoming byelection in the Kumawu Constituency in the Ashanti Region.
Duah contested the 2020 parliamentary election in the constituency as an independent candidate but lost. A statement signed by Nana Ofori Owusu, national chairman of the PPP, said Duah “is the only known credible independent parliamentary candidate” in the impending byelection.
The party urged its members to vote for him.
“The party believes Ghana needs an independent voice in parliament to stand on behalf of Ghanaians, and Hon Kwaku Duah is the only credible, competent and …good leader, since 2020, to lead the people of Kumawu in parliament.
“We, therefore, urge all eligible voters and party members in Kumawu to disregard any form of intimidation, threats and manipulations and come out massively to vote for Hon Kwaku Duah on Tuesday 23 May for change and development in the area,” the statement said.
The PPP appealed to the people of Kumawu to “vote for change” to “send the right message to the nation.”
The by-election has become necessary following the demise of the former member of parliament for Kumawu, Philip Basoah, in March this year.
In accordance with Article 112 (5) of the Constitution, as amended, the Electoral Commission has set 23 May for the election.
