Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Akropong
THE New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Akropong in the Eastern Region, Mr William Ofori Boafo, has been retained to contest the December parliamentary election on the ticket of the party.
Mr Boafo, who is also the Deputy Minister of Defence, was the only candidate who filed his nomination to contest the primary in the constituency by the close of nominations on March 13.
He, therefore, had his confirmation on a silver platter when all the 97 polling station chairmen retained him by acclamation at Mamfe.
The highly elated MP thanked the polling station chairmen for the trust reposed in him and gave the assurance that he would retain the seat at all cost with a massive 95 per cent of the votes.
That, he said, was because of his personal achievements, as well as those of the NPP administration, which had improved the lives of the people, not only in the constituency but the country as a whole.
“The NPP has done a lot so the people will vote for my retention,” he said.
