People's Progressive Party opens nominations at KEEA

The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has said it is poised to win the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) seat in the 2016 general election to turn around what it describes as “the bleak economic future” of the constituency.

According to the party, the developmental projects initiated by Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom in the constituency were an indication that it was the only party that was dedicated to its development and must be given the mantle to expand the good work  it had started.

Mr Badu Tentey, the KEEA Chairman of the Party, made this known at a press conference in Elmina on Thursday to open nominations for the prospective parliamentary candidates.

 The nomination form costs GH¢1, 500 and nomination closes on December 12, this year.

Mr Tentey said the youth in the constituency had lost faith in the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) due to their inability to create jobs for them, adding that even the PPP which was not in power had created jobs for them.

He enumerated the job avenues to include a quarry and concrete products factory at Yesunkwa near Ataabadze, three branches of the Groupe Nduom Bank, real estate development, hospitality industries and a community library.

He said it was based on the good works that the party sought to take over the administration of the constituency to enable it to bring on board more progressive ventures calculated to enhance productivity to boost employment and to push the developmental agenda to a higher gear.
