The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Akwatia by-election, Solomon Asumadu, has expressed strong confidence in securing victory.
Mr. Asumadu insists that his main opponent from the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Bernard Bediako Baidoo, poses little challenge to his chances.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, he cited the overwhelming support he received within his party ahead of the primaries as proof of his strength.
“At first, about seven people wanted to contest in the primaries, but in the end, they all rallied behind me, and I was acclaimed. That shows the kind of backing I have,” he stated.
He added that if the election is conducted in a free and transparent manner with a high turnout, he is confident of winning by a margin of at least 10,000 votes.
“My experience and the work I have done on the ground make it impossible to compare me to my opponent. He is no match for me or the NPP in Akwatia,” Mr. Asumadu emphasized.
While acknowledging that the NDC currently holds national power, he insisted that government incumbency would not influence the outcome of the by-election in the constituency.
He further encouraged eligible voters in Akwatia to come out in their numbers on September 2, 2025, and deliver a decisive victory for the NPP.
