The Member of Parliament-elect for Tano South and son of Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, Charles Asiedu, has stated that while his father's influence played a crucial role in his victory, he worked diligently to secure the seat himself.

He mentioned that while his father's influence was pivotal, he also put in significant effort to secure the victory.
