According to him, politics is all about preaching what one’s preferred candidate can do and not about the quantum of insults you can rain on others.
“This is an election. Going into this election, we are not going to vote for someone who can insult more, but, you’re being expected to preach what you can do for the party or the constituency and when your message convinces, definitely, you’ll be emerged victorious”, he told a gathering of his supporters at the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba NPP party office after he had filed his nomination form.
Some supporters and delegates who described Jonathan Laamiitey as hardworking, respectful, committed, crowd puller said, they see him as the rightful candidate who can defeat NDC’s Andrew Dari Chiwitey to win the seat for the NPP.
Speaking to Yagbon News the supporters entreated the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba delegates to vote massively for Jonathan Laamiitey since they see him as the only hope that can bring victory to the NPP in Sawla-Tuna-Kalba.
