Mr Martin Adjei-Mensah Korsah, the Member of Parliament for Techiman South in the Bono East Region, has called for a peace agreement among the various parliamentary candidates (PCs) to safeguard the prevailing peace of the constituency.
As of December 7, 2024, polls gather momentum, the MP, also the Minister of Local Government and Decentralization, underlined the need for the PCs and their followers to remain decorous, tolerant and conduct clean campaigns.
Mr. Korsah made the call when he officially launched his campaign at Techiman to canvass votes from the electorates and assured that he and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the constituency were ready to accept the outcome of Election 2024 in the supreme interest of peace.
He said the progressive development of the constituency remained paramount, and added that without peace and social cohesion, the holistic development of the constituency could not be achieved.
Mr. Korsah said the government had invested hugely and improved quality education, road and sport infrastructure as well as electricity expansion, saying the NPP needed another term to build on that and alleviate the plight of the people.
“Let’s endeavor to forgive each other of our wrongs and offences, bury our differences and forge ahead in unity and intensify the electioneering to win the Election 2024 by a wider margin,” Mr. Andrews Bediako, the Jaman South Municipal Chief Executive, advised the NPP supporters.
He expressed concern about the outcome of the 2020 Parliamentary elections, which nearly plunged the constituency into chaos and advised the NPP supporters to be guarded and avoid tendencies that could mar the 2024 general election.
Mrs. Kate Gyamfua, the National Women Organizer of the NPP, said the MP and the government had improved infrastructure development in the Bono East Region, and urged the electorate to appreciate that by voting for the Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the party’s flagbearer and the MP when they go to ballot on December 7.
She later inaugurated a newly constructed office for the NPP in the constituency.
