Alhaji Dori to contest Ayariga for Bawku Central

Alhaji Ibrahim Dori, a member of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Chief Executive Officer of I. A. DORI Enterprise Limited, has declared his intention to contest for the Bawku Central seat.

By declaring his intention, Alhaji Dori will be contesting Mr Mahama Ayariga, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the area and Minister of Environment, Science and Technology.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Accra, Alhaji Dori said his main priority was to bring development to the area, as well as empower the youth and women by creating jobs for them.

He said the NDC needed to retain the Bawku Central seat in the December 2016 general election.

"It is imperative that a pragmatic leader is elected as MP to complement the work of President John Dramani Mahama," he said.
“I am a youth activist and a crusader for the vulnerable with a passion to develop my community, and I am making myself available to contest the Bawku Central seat to help bring development to the area,” he added.

He described himself as a unifier and peacemaker, saying he would use his office, if elected, to represent the party and to unify the people of the area.

Alhaji Dori called on the rank and file of the party in the constituency to support his candidature at the upcoming parliamentary primaries.
Alhaji Dori is the Managing Director of I. A. DORI Enterprise Limited, a road and building construction firm, and graduate of the University of Ghana, Legon. - GNA
