Tamale, Ghana – National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Nandom constituency in the Upper West Region, has asked the people of Nandom to retire the incumbent Ambrose Dery at the December 7th presidential and parliamentary elections this year.
According to Dr. Richard Kuuire, the New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate is already tired after having done 8 years as legislator for the people of Nandom-Lawra and Nandom at different times.
“Our former legislator Dr. Benjamin Kunbuor served the good people of Nandom for 12 years before retiring in 2016. He Ambrose will also be doing 8 years by the end of this year and that is enough. He should retire like that so that I can also go and serve the people of Nandom”, Dr. Kuuire said at a meeting of natives of Nandom in Tamale on Sunday.
Dr. Kuuire said he has a track record of being a good servant when he was a civil servant and that makes him capable of representing the people of Nandom if given the chance.
“For many years as an officer in the Ghana Prisons Service up to the time I was posted to work with the United Nations, I supported many Nandom people in the area of jobs, scholarship support and other things.
“Even though I was not an MP in 2016, I was able to provide 38 boreholes, built schools and extended electricity to many communities in Nandom that didn’t have potable water and electricity in their homes”, he revealed.
Dr. Kuuire therefore appealed to electorates in Nandom to endeavor to make him their first choice in the polling both on December 7 for true representation in parliament and equitable distribution of state resources to everyone in the constituency.
He also commended Mr. Peter Claver Kabriku, the 2016 PPP parliamentary candidate for Nandom for throwing his support behind him, stressing that “there was the need for unity among the people of Nandom in order to unseat Lawyer Ambrose Dery and the NPP government”.
The purpose of the meeting was to sell the NDC’s campaign message to natives of Nandom who live and work in Tamale and many of its adjoining communities. It was also intended to encourage those who had registered to vote back home to endeavor to go back to Nandom when the time is due.
Speaker after speaker told the gathering of about 100 people who had defied a downpour to attend the meeting, to vote against the NPP come December 7th.
According to them, the only time the North gets development is whenever the NDC is in power, warning that they would get their worst disappointment if they retain President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP government.
