The chief of Effiduase, Okoawia Dwomo Baabu II, has endorsed Eastern Regional Minister Seth Kwame Acheampong’s bid to become the Member of Parliament for New Juaben North.
Speaking during the celebration of the first Akwasidae at the Effiduase Palace, the chief said, “Kwame Acheampong is not just from Effiduase; he’s a true royal of Effiduase.
“He’s my Gyaasihene. The current Gyaasihene Nana Baffour Amofa Aku II is his direct uncle,” declared Nana Okoawia Dwomo Baabu II.
Encouraging the entire Effiduaseman, especially the NPP delegates, the chief called upon them to rally behind Seth Kwame Acheampong, describing him as a genuine catalyst for development and peace in the Eastern Region.
“Kwame Acheampong is a true agent of development and peace in the region. We are privileged to have such a gentleman as a son of this land. All Effiduaseman should support him. His party delegates should support him,” he added.
In response, Seth Kwame Acheampong expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Nana Okoawia Dwomo Baabu II, his kingsmen, and the entire Effiduaseman for the support.
He assured them that he was ready to serve the people of New Juaben North for accelerated development and improved living standards.
He supported the Akwasidae celebration with cartons of drinks, bottled water, Schnapps and an undisclosed amount of money.
Seth Kwame Acheampong is staging a comeback to Parliament, having served the people of Mpraeso as a Member of Parliament.
He faces competition from Nana Osei Adjei, Joseph Osei Djaba, Philip Twum Yeboah, and Sampson Kwesi Annor in his bid to get the nod of delegates during the parliamentary primaries of the NPP on 27 January 2024, to serve the people of New Juaben North.
Seth Acheampong is contesting the position, having received overwhelming endorsement from the majority of the delegates and former chairman of the constituency Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang.
