Asawase NPP Primaries:Who Will Emerge Victorious?
Three people picked the forms to contest. But one can safely say that it’s a straight fight between Manaf Ibrahim and Hajia Zeinabu Sallow.
Manaf is a former Ashanti Regional Assistant Secretary, a former Political aide at the office of the vice President. He contested for the position in 2015 and lost against Alidu Seidu the former parliamentary candidate. He came back in 2019 and it didn’t work out. He has successfully filed to contest again.
He firmly believes that his leadership will bring hope and opportunities to the NPP, ensuring victory in the constituency.
Hajia Zainab on the other is a banker by profession and she’s in her third term as the Ashanti Regional treasurer of the party. She’s currently the Ashanti Regional Director for Masloc.
This marks her first attempt to contest for the parliamentary position, and if successful, she would become the second woman to represent the party as a parliamentary candidate after Madam Patricia Appiagyei, the current MP for Asokwa, who is regarded as the best candidate in the constituency’s history.
Both candidates have their unique strengths and visions.
Manaf believes that a change in leadership is essential to bring about positive transformation and ensure victory for the party, while Hajia Zeinabu aims to be a unifier, bringing together all factions to secure the seat. Her slogan,
“Unifier, Trusted Leadership for Asawase,” reflects her commitment to this mission, with “Nkabom Hemaa” as her nickname.Let’s see how it goes.
