Im extremely happy that the good people of Takoradi have chosen Mr Okyere Kwabenah Darko-Mensah as their candidate for the next parliamentary election. This is one of the best political news to come out from our beloved Takoradi and nation as a whole.

I have had the pleasure and privilege of knowing this man since we were kids and have been friends for years and I have no doubts in my mind he is the best person to lead Takoradi to its deserved place. His wisdom, passion and heart for politics is just AWESOME.

I believe a new age of politics is dawning on our dear nation and the young men and women are going to be a great part of it to propel our nation into its next phase in development. Good people of Ghana, watch out for Mr Okyere Kwabenah Darko-Mensah he's gonna be HUGE in terms of achievements. No Doubts about that!!!!
God bless Kobby and God bless our nation Ghana.
