The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Takoradi, Mrs Gladys Asmah, has urged the electorate in the constituency to vote massively for the flag bearer of the party, Nana Akufo-Addo, as well as the parliamentary candidate for the Takoradi Constituency, Mr Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, for the party to retain power to continue its good work.
She said the NPP should get 80 per cent votes in the constituency to elect the parliamentary candidate, who would continue what she had done.
She was speaking at a mini-rally at Amanful, a suburb of Takoradi, as part of a campaign tour of the constituency.
Mrs Asmah, who has been in Parliament since 1996, expressed her gratitude to the people in the constituency for electing her for three consecutive periods, adding “l would be ungrateful, if l do not thank you”.
“You sent me and you know what we have done for you... .Everybody knows what the President Kufuor’s administration has done”.
Mrs Asmah, who is also the Minister of Fisheries, urged the people not to listen to what the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would say since they would never win the Takoradi parliamentary seat.
She described Mr Darko-Mensah as a very young man and that she was ready to share her experience with him if he was elected.
The MP advised the people to vote peacefully, go home and come back at 5 pm to observe the counting of the ballots.
Mr Darko-Mensah thanked Mrs Asmah for the support she had been giving him and added that he was optimistic that the NPP would win the elections.
He said the NPP regime had been blessed with the discovery of oil in commercial quantities, adding that the party needed peace to enable it move the country forward.
In another development, Mr Darko-Mensah has launched a website for job opportunities in Takoradi.
Speaking at the launch, he pointed out that the youth were the future leaders of the country.
