The Eastern Regional executives of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have charged the newly elected Akwatia constituency executives to make uniting the grassroots a priority and work assiduously to wrestle back the parliamentary seat from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2024 general election.
This call from the regional executives comes after the swearing into office of new constituency executives after successful elections on Saturday.
The longest-serving constituency chairman of the party, Yakubu Osman, popularly known as Baba, was defeated with just a single vote by Fred Addo who polled 299 as against the 298 garnered by Baba the incumbent.
For the secretary position, Eugene Acheampong who went up against two others managed to secure 300 votes while his opponents Yaw Opoku Agyei and Michael Boadu had 245 and 20 respectively.
The Eastern Regional Secretary of the NPP, Tony Osei-Adjei, who called for unity within the constituency, charged the newly elected officials to do everything possible to win back the Akwatia parliamentary seat from the NDC.
