Edem made this pledge at a campaign and manifesto launch event held at Dzodze last Sunday, September 1 to officially kickstart the NDC’s campaign in the Constituency.
Addressing thousands of party supporters and residents drawn from the various towns in the constituency, the former Deputy National Youth Organiser of the NDC said even though the target earlier had been to secure about 85 per cent of the votes in the constituency, a survey conducted by his team indicates that the party could well garner about 95 per cent of the votes in the constituency at the 2024 polls.
“Our working target was about 85 per cent but at the last survey there’s every indication that we can secure 90-95 per cent of the total votes in this constituency for the NDC. This is largely due to the work we have done since I became the parliamentary candidate. In the manifesto document we just launched, I have outlined a number of projects and initiatives we have undertaken even before I become the MP and I have as well outlined my personal vision and the plans that President Mahama has for the people of Ketu North come 2025," he said.
He added, "This is why my team and I are confident that we can achieve our target. It is all about the work we have done, our message and the fact that the good people of Ketu North can clearly see development on the horizon and will come out in their numbers to vote massively for President Mahama and myself come December 7” Mr Agbana remarked.
The former University of Ghana SRC President also unveiled his vision for the constituency highlighting youth development, skills acquisition, jobs, education, social and economic infrastructure, support for the vulnerable and aged as the focus of his representation.
The well attended event had constituency, regional and some national executives of the party as well as other big wigs within the party, addressing the crowd on various themes.
Outgoing MP for the area and Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament, Dr James Klutse Avedzi praised Edem Agbana as a hardworking son of the area and expressed confidence in him as his worthy replacement who will take the development of Ketu North to the next level.
