Energy Minister confident of winning Bosomtwe seat

Energy Minister Dr. Joseph Oteng Agyei, who is contesting the Bosomtwe parliamentary seat on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has predicted victory on December 7.

He said he was confident that the tremendous goodwill and support enjoyed by his party in the area would translate into massive votes.

He noted that the job the NDC had done in government within the last four years would be rewarded.

Dr. Oteng-Adjei was addressing separate campaign rallies at Pramso, Piase, Onwi, Amankwadei and Kokodei.

This is his fourth attempt at getting the people in the constituency to give him the mandate to represent them in parliament.

He said he had no doubt that the people would be voting based on their conviction of who could make their socio-economic situation better.

He urged his colleague politicians to be more civil in the conduct of their electioneering campaign to avoid needless tension and help protect the peace.

Dr. Oteng-Agyei appealed to the people to turn out in their numbers on voting day to return the NDC to power.

The Constituency Chairman, Mr. Yaw Amankwaa, urged the party’s members in the various communities to step up their house-to-house campaign to canvass for votes.

They should tell the success story of the government to expose the deception and deliberate distortions by their political opponents.
