According to him, he is the front-runner among the 3 aspirants contesting the primary considering his capabilities, and achievements among others.

Mr. Adjase speaking to party delegates ahead of the party’s parliamentary primaries scheduled for Saturday, 2nd December, 2023 believes he's the right candidate to wrestle the seat from the NDC in the opposition-dominated area for the first time since 1992.

"I'm ready to serve the party if, for the first time in the history of the party, we can get a vibrant and energetic leader who can lead the NPP in Lower Manya Krobo to victory in 2024, who can bring us victory in 2024 and win the seat," said the aspiring parliamentary candidate.

He also emphasized the need for unity in the constituency.
Rev. Alex Acheampong, a special assistant to Mr. Kennedy Agyapong and secretary to the fundraising committee was present together with other members of the committee to pledge their undying support for Mr. Adjase.

"We're backing him because we see that he’s a competent person, he showed to the entire campaign management team that he's very competent, he's somebody who promises and he delivers his promise and we see that when he promised victory for honourable Ken in this constituency, he and his team were able to deliver and deliver well," he said.
