Mr. Kontunatey Isaac Maamul, the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba Constituency Deputy Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), says the NDC is not threatened by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary Candidate for the constituency.
He said after a critical assessment, Mr. Ankaara Saakaara was not someone who could disrupt the NDC’s chances in the 2024 elections.
However, the party would not be complacent but work hard to increase their vote margin in the 2024 election.
Mr. Isaac, in an interview with Yagbon radio on its weekly show”Round table”, he stated that Mr. Ankaara’s defeat would demoralize him to the point that he would be unable to recover political career again.
Mr. Ankaara Saakaara, a teacher, defeated three other aspirants in the Sawla -Tuna-Kalba constituency parliamentary candidature race in the elections held by the NPP in its orphan constituencies.
Mr. Andrew Dari Chiwitey , the Member of Parliament for NDC, in the 2020 general election, garnered 21,382 votes to defeat the then NPP parliamentary candidate Mr. Seidu Nuhu Banasco, who had 10,780 votes.
Mr. Isaac stated that the NPP PC was a fine gentleman , but the NDC was not intimidated by his candidacy because he lacked the political experience.
He said the constituency truly needed a strong and true leader, which Mr Andrew Dari Chiwitey already had such qualities, adding that the constituency had become more vibrant and active under the current MP’s leadership.
Mr. Isaac commended the current MP for his transparency and accountability to the constituents and engaging the communities in explaining the allocation and utilization of the MP’s common fund, as well as outlining the intended projects.
He said the level of Mr. Andrew Dari Chiwitey transparency had garnered the interest and support from the people and mentioned that the MP for the past 7 years has donated 2 ambulances, hospital beds, facilitated the construction of CHPS compounds , donation of motorbikes to the health directorate.
The MP has additionally provided scholarships to students, drilled over 30 boreholes among many other interventions.
Mr. Isaac acknowledged the challenges of poor road network in the area despite the MP’s persistent efforts, but the government heeds no attention to him.
He appealed to the residents to grant Mr Andrew Dari Chiwitey the third chance to continue the commendable work started and emphasized that a victory for former President John Dramani Mahama and Mr. Andrew Dari Chiwitey in the 2024 general election would significantly boost development in area.
