A parliamentary aspirant for Adentan Constituency, an orphan constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has picked nomination forms to contest in the parliamentary primaries.
The forms were picked by an army of supporters and presented to Mr Kwasi Obeng-Fosu, popularly known as Baba Tauffic the Homeboy, at his campaign office.
The presentation was led by a former Electoral Area Coordinator for Amrahia-Malejor, Mrs Baaba Maison, and the current Coordinator for New Adentan East Electoral Area, Mr Kelly Steve Oppong Nyinah.
Constituency executives, Electoral Area coordinators, members of the Council of Elders, members of the Council of Patrons, Polling Station executives and party faithful, were present to lend their support to the aspirant.
Presenting the forms, Mrs Maison said Obeng-Fosu was hardworking and a popular grassroots politician in Adentan, who offered himself to lead the party to reclaim its lost seat in 2024.
She recalled that Obeng-Fosu as the constituency youth organiser led the youth wing to secure its first ever twin victory for the party in 2016 together with constituency executives at the time, when the then candidate Yaw Buaben Asamoa (Esq) won the seat and President Akufo-Addo won the presidential race in the constituency.
“My success as Electoral Area Coordinator would not have been possible without the support, hard work and loyalty of our Homeboy Baba Tauffic when he was the constituency youth organiser. Today, he has risen to become the youngest member of the Council of Patrons and it is time to reward his hard work by rallying behind him for victory,” she urged party supporters.
In his acceptance speech, Mr Obeng-Fosu, currently the PRO of the Energy Ministry, said he was overwhelmed by the love shown by fellow patriots that thronged his office for the presentation.
“I sincerely thank you all for your massive grassroot support. Today, I assure you that the confidence you have reposed in me will not be taken for granted. With your support and prayers, and through Christ who strengthens us all, I believe that victory shall be ours in 2024”, he declared to loud cheers from the excited crowd.
Mr Obeng-Fosu urged all party members to support him, the party and government to enable the NPP break the eight with a seat from Adentan and a commanding majority in parliament.
