Basoah in the recently held parliamentary primaries, Dr Bannor and Lawyer Edward Osei, the Secretary-General at the Ghana National Commission for UNESCO, Madam Ama Serwaa, and a couple of others.A visit to the constituency by our news desk realised that the constituents, who are already fatigued by the protracted conflict and tension in the party at the constituency, are calling for a competent candidate who is not linked to any of the feuding factions in the constituency.

According to reports from the constituency, the constituents believe the tension and lack of unity contributed to the slow pace of development in the constituency.

They, therefore, believe that it’s about time they prioritised the constituency’s interest and development ahead of any other, and as a result hold the position that, none of the candidates that played one role or the other in the tension must be elected, as that would be a harbinger of more confusion and tension in years to come.

"It is known by all that there is a huge rift among the party people in the constituency.

They claim none of the factions can lay claim to her, and beyond that, she radiates unity and calmness while exuding humility.Another constituent added, “We believe that person is Ama Serwaa.

We have resolved to support and vote for her as the MP, so the party people should just present her as the parliamentary candidate if they want the NPP votes to increase in the constituency”.The constituents believe that the party has been given a rare privilege opportunity to elect a huge unifying figure as the parliamentary candidate, and subsequently Member of Parliament.
