The Presidential candidate of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM), Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews is expected to begin a two-day tour of the Oti Region on Friday, October 9, 2020.
A statement highlighting his itinerary said the GUM flagbearer will on Friday visit the Buem, Nkwanta South, Nkwanta North and Kadjebi constituencies to interact with chiefs, imams and the clergy.
On Saturday, Osofo Kyiri Abosom will be in Krachi Nchumuru, Krachi West, Krachi East and WoraWora in the Biakoye constituency to also interact with opinion leaders and Zongo chiefs.
Mr Henry Awutwe, the parliamentary candidate for the Ghana Union Movement in the Krachi East constituency, told the Ghana News Agency that preparations are underway for the visit.
He said GUM will increase its campaign activities in the Oti Region, adding that the party is working to snatch three seats, including the Krachi East constituency parliamentary seat.
Osofo Kyiri Abosom believes his party will win the December 2020 polls with 65% votes.
According to Osofo Kyiri Abosom, his party is doing the actual grassroots campaign and the fruit of their labour will materialize on December 7, 2020.
“We are on the ground. The elites are being deceived by what they see in the cities. This is the same mistakes Nkrumah’s opponents made. They did not know Nkrumah had the masses until he took them by surprise. NPP started in the 90s, our party is only new, but we are going to take them by surprise.”
Osofo Kyirabosom made the remarks in a media interview after submitting his nomination form to the Electoral Commission (EC) on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.
Osofo Kyiri Abosom appoints Alhaji Abu Lukeman as running mate
Rev. Andrews has already appointed Alhaji Abu Grant Lukman as his running mate for the 2020 general elections.
Lukman is said to have vast experience and acumen from the private sector.
Rev Andrews, who is also the founder and General Overseer of Life Assembly Worship Centre, has promised to build a territorial polity based on united and all-inclusive political pluralism, similar to the Charter of Medina which was approved by all and signed by the Prophet Mohamed.
