Businessman, Elvis Asiedu Antwi
The Bortianor-Ngleshie-Amanfrom constituency in the Greater Accra region is firmly rooting for businessman, Elvis Asiedu Antwi to salvage them from their political woes.
Mr. Asiedu Antwi, the right hand man for Sempe Mantse, Nii Adote Otintor the second, has begun garnering support towards his bid to represent the ruling New Patriotic Party in the 2020 polls.
Popularly known as General, Asiedu Antwi who is considered a best choice for the people of the Ngleshie Amanfrom Constituency is already making inroads following his daily endorsements from constituents.
Majority of polling station executives and ordinary constituents who are rooting for his coming have touted his human relation credentials and business links as a trump card to turn around the fortunes of the constituency.
The many constituents, who are hoping to see Asiedu Antwi become their MP, they believe in his judgement.
According to them, they have lived with him in the constituency for years and have seen how he has acquainted himself with the ordinary people in the constituency which they believe makes him a better choice to others.
“He is one of us with a solid educational background and thus understands our problems very well,’’ they said.
The seat is currently being occupied by the NPP’s Alhaji Habib Saad who polled 26,034 votes to beat then incumbent MP, Bright Edward Kodzo Demordzi during the 2016 elections.
But judging from the abysmal performance of Alhaji Saad, several constituents fear the seat will go back to the NDC in the 2020 elections if a better candidate is not presented to lead the NPP.
This, the youth in the area believe can be achieved with Elvis Asiedu Antwi as the political head of their constituency. According to them, they see a selfless leader who is committed in spearheading the unprecedented developmental agenda of the area to the highest level.
They believe that Asiedu Antwi is someone who can on the national front, play a vital role in Parliament by vigorously contributing to debates on the floor of the house and at the committee levels respectively so as to uplift high the image of the constituency within the Ghanaian political circles and beyond.
They mentioned education, sanitation, youth organization, women issues, sports development amongst others as some of the areas the constituency is lagging behind over the years under various MPs.
The youth who have promised to volunteer for the Asiedu 2020 campaign have appealed to party delegates to vote for Elvis Asiedu Antwi aka General, who is proactive and capable of leading the constituency to another level.
‘’We now need vocal people in parliament as our representatives devoid of partisan politics and that is Asiedu Antwi,” they told our reporter.
