The NDC’s Talensi Constituency Secretary, Augustine Guure, is confident that the NDC’s Parliamentary Candidate, Daniel Dung Mahama, will win the 2024 parliamentary election.
Mr. Mahama is expected to win by a convincing margin despite the fact that the NPP’s recently elected Parliamentary Candidate, Robert Alibo, is a generally liked individual whose philanthropy transcends political colors, according to Mr. Guure.
Mr. Guure made these comments when he spoke to Mark Smith on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show today, Tuesday, December 12, 2023. He was discussing the new dynamics ahead of the 2024 election based on the NPP’s election of Robert Alibo.
The NDC’s Constituency Secretary warned the party not to be complacent in its attempt to retain the seat.
“We have been scared once before in Talensi when the Paramount Chief today became MP. The reasons that led to that, if we overlook them, they would come back to haunt us. Based on that, I would say that there is a hard knock on our feet, and so we need to move beyond the efforts we were making already. To be frank with you, Alibo, as you know, and even your co-journalists who were present on the day of his election can tell you how he mingles with the constituents. He is popular because of some of his benevolent acts. He is a candidate not to be taken for granted. We are well aware.”
The situation, according to Mr. Guure, is even more exacerbated by the fact that Mr. Alibo hails from one of the strongholds of the NDC; a situation that could split the votes in the area. Despite these glaring facts, the NDC’s win will be significant, Mr. Guure insists.
“Though he will give us a run for our money, I strongly believe that Daniel Dung Mahama stands tall,” he said.
Robert Alibo, on December 2, was elected ahead of the DCE for the area, Thomas Wuni Pearson, and the Deputy Director for the Northern Development Authority (NDA), William Zoogah.
