A leading member of the New Patriotic Party in Navrongo Central in the Upper East Region, Alhaji Abdallah Otito Achuliwor, has declared his intention to contest the NPP Navrongo Central Constituency parliamentary primaries.
Alhaji Otito made this public declaration to the media in Navrongo after he joined party members on a unity health walk in the Navrongo township dubbed ‘Unity, Our Power and Strength to Recapture Our Seat’.
The event was organised by the Women, Youth and Nasara wings as part of strategies to unite the party members to recapture the Navrongo Central Constituency parliamentary seat in the 2024 general election.
Alhaji Otito Achuliwor, said he is the NPP’s best bet to snatch the seat from the NDC’s Sampson Tangombu Chiragiaa.
According to Alhaji Otito, while he remains the NPP’s surest bet, there needs to be unity among the people of the Navrongo area to enable the NPP to garner more votes.
“It is very true. It is not a rumour at all, it is a reality and the reality is that I am going to return the seat to this party without any mincing of words. It is clear in the constituency, among all the delegates, I am the one who can restore the party back to its original state. So I am going to collect the seat back for us. I have declared my intention to contest the primaries and I am certain that at the Primaries I will take the lead among all the other candidates who will be coming.”
Alhaji Otito promised to be committing Ghc10,000 every month until December 2024, for exercises such as health walks and other party activities in the Navrongo central constituency. He said similar activities help the party’s visibility in the area.
He said that the current NDC MP for the Navrongo Central, Sampson Tangombu Chiragiaa is a non-performing MP and has also not been visible in the constituency as such, he doubts whether the MP can even win his own primaries.
He stated that he will be battling the 2024 parliamentary election with a new NDC PC not Sampson Tangombu.
“Since the NDC took power we are very disappointed because our MP is not visible at all. Even among NDC supporters they do not even appreciate his presence in parliament and I will tell you without doubt that their NDC primaries he will lose to somebody else, so I am going to me a new candidate coming 2024,” he said
