Incumbent Member of Parliament for Adenta Yaw Buaben Asamoa says he is not afraid of the contest in the upcoming primaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) despite suggestions he was going to be defeated.

The private legal practitioner in an interview on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5fm said he has done his best and was hopeful delegates will re-elect him to represent the party.

The MP said just like every contest, people will express interest but as a candidate, he is not surprised he is being contested.

He admonished delegates and party supporters to be guided by the fact that the party wants victory in the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.

The NPP he stated will win the race but it will take unity for them to do so.

A private legal practitioner and former National Vice-chair aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Vida Agyekum Acheampong has opined the party’s Communications Director Yaw Buaben Asamoa will lose the Adenta primaries on Saturday.

According to her, delegates of the party have had challenges with the lawyer’s handling of the party’s communications since he assumed the role.

But the incumbent MP says he is not scared of the contest.
