Nana Boateng, a first-timer MP, is expected to be challenged by two other personalities, namely Dr Samuel Annor, a former Eastern Regional Chairman of the party, and Nana Osei Agyei, an activist of the party.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic after picking the forms, Nana Boateng said: "I am ready for the competition since I have an unfinished business."
He said most of the constituents would feel disappointed should he refuse to contest again because they still had confidence in him to lead them in pursuit of their development needs.
Explaining why he was going to win the primaries, Nana Boateng said his good works alone were ample evidence for the delegates to give him the nod.
"I believe my good rapport with the delegates, coupled with other attributes, gives me the upper hand in the contest," he said.
Among these, he said, were the renovation of the nurses’ quarters at Jumapo, the Suhyen Community Centre, the completion of the Effiduase Community Centre and construction of a three-unit classroom block at Oyoko.
He called on the other contestants to go about their campaigns with decorum since he was going to do same.
