COKA’S GENEROSITY IS A POLITICAL ASSET, NOT A WEAKNESS — ASHANTI NPP DELEGATES, DON’T BE DECEIVED
Delegates of the Ashanti Region, the time has come to choose a leader who understands the heartbeat of the party and the people who make the elephant family strong.
I humbly appeal to you to vote for Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah (COKA) as the next NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman.
Some critics have started trying to downplay COKA’s generosity and strong relationships with ordinary people, but let us ask ourselves:
what is wrong with a leader who is loved, accessible, and connected to the grassroots? Politics is about people, and any leader who has built genuine relationships across communities has built an important political foundation for the party.
Every week, COKA receives invitations to marriages, funerals, and social gatherings from party members and even non-party members.
These are not just ceremonies; they are opportunities to engage, inspire, and win more people for the NPP.
The friendships and goodwill he has built have helped bring many people closer to the elephant family.
Those who say such gestures do not matter should explain how a party can win elections without the support and trust of the people.
A leader who is accepted in communities is an asset, not a liability.
The media fraternity in the Ashanti Region has also benefited from COKA’s cordial relationship and respect for them. In modern politics, the media plays a powerful role in shaping public opinion.
Having a regional chairman who maintains a healthy relationship with media practitioners is a strategic advantage for the party.Delegates, do not allow anyone to make you believe that connecting with people is a weakness.
A regional chairman must be a bridge between the party and the people. COKA has demonstrated that he understands this responsibility.
Ashanti Region needs a chairman who can unite the grassroots, strengthen relationships, and lead the party with experience and humility.Don’t let critics make you reject an asset.
Don’t let politics of negativity deny NPP Ashanti the leader it needs.Vote for Chairman Odeneho Kwaku Appiah (COKA)—the grassroots choice, the people’s chairman, and the leader Ashanti NPP deserves.
