Ejisu constituents are buzzing with excitement following the victory of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidate in the recent by-election.
They are not only thrilled by Lawyer Kwabena Boateng’s win but are also filled with optimism and confidence that he will uphold and advance developmental projects within the constituency.
According to a report from Citi News’ Ashanti regional correspondent, jubilation among constituents and supporters of the NPP’s candidate, Kwabena Boateng, began hours before the Electoral Commission officially declared him the winner of the fiercely contested election.
His supporters were confident of his victory, asserting that Ejisu would never elect an independent candidate as a Member of Parliament.
Speaking to Citi News, celebrants expressed their anticipation for the newly elected member of parliament to continue prioritising and spearheading major developmental projects in the constituency.
“I feel great and happy because everything showed that lawyer will win this election. Because we are NPP members, we know ourselves. We knew that definitely would win this election. So, we are happy. Actually, If I were lawyer [Boateng] the only thing I would do is try everything possible to fulfil our promise so that in December elections, we win,” a resident of Ejisu told Citi News.
“We are okay because we knew he was going to win. Yeah, we knew he was going to win. Because there is no way Ejisu will vote for an independent candidate,” said another celebrant.
Kwabena Boateng in his acceptance speech pledged to unite members of the party and constituents ahead of the December general elections.
“They are our people. I don’t think that the party is minded or that I as the MP-elect is minded of neglecting anybody, not at all. Political parties are built with multitudes. You need the people. So, my task is to go down there and then be with my people and listen to them. And whatever constitutes the disagreement, my job is to make sure that we “jaw-jaw” and find a common ground that will benefit the party.”
