A former Afigya Kwabre South Constituency Chairman in the Ashanti Region, Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah, popularly known as COKA, has made a passionate appeal to the rank and file of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) to redouble their efforts in campaigning for the party’s parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Ejisu By-election, Lawyer Kwabena Boateng.

COKA advised members of the NPP, especially those in the Ejisu Constituency, not to sleep till Lawyer Kwabena Boateng is elected MP to replace the late Dr. John Ampontuah Kumah on Tuesday, 30th April 2024.

COKA made the appeal after a unity walk on Saturday, 27th April 2024, through the principal streets of Ejisu to rally support for the party’s candidate.

He stressed the need for the rank and file of the party to put everything behind them and unite for victory

He, therefore, encouraged all members to embark on an aggressive door-to-door campaign in order to convey the good message of the NPP to every electorate in the constituency.

“Tuesday’s by-election should be a-must-win for the NPP, so let’s all rally behind lawyer Kwabena Boateng vigorously to ensure that he wins with a wide margin,” he pleaded.

COKA was of the view that Tuesday’s by-election is of great importance to the NPP as far as parliamentary business is concerned so they should all come on board, bring resources together and make sure the NPP retains Ejisu seat.

He cautioned the electorate to be mindful of their choice of words which he believes can jeopardise the fortunes of the by-election.

The by-election became necessary as a result of the sudden demise of the NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Ejisu, Dr. John Ampontuah Kumah, who was also a deputy finance minister.
