The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Akwatia by-election, Bernard Bediako, has expressed confidence in winning the upcoming poll scheduled for September 2, 2025.
The Electoral Commission (EC) declared the Akwatia seat vacant following the passing of MP Ernest Kumi, paving the way for the contest.
Speaking to journalists in Akwatia on Sunday, August 17, Mr. Bediako said the NDC is actively engaging voters across the constituency.
“We are moving through towns and communities to share our message. Today being market day in Akwatia, we started there to engage the people. We want them to see why voting for me and the NDC will bring the needed development to Akwatia,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) demonstrated its strength with a Unity Walk to rally support for its candidate, Solomon Kwame Asumadu.
The walk, led by Eastern Regional Chairman Jeff Konadu Addo and other regional leaders, attracted thousands of party faithful. They were joined by National Youth Organiser Salam Mustapha, constituency executives, polling station representatives, and grassroots supporters.
Chants, music, and placards filled the streets as participants marched through Akwatia. Organisers described the massive turnout as evidence of the NPP’s determination to win the September 2 by-election.
NPP candidate Solomon Asumadu, meanwhile, remains optimistic, asserting he will defeat Mr. Bediako by a 10,000-vote margin.
