The Youth Organizer seized the opportunity to talk about the impending voter registration exercise and encouraged all qualified persons to go and register so that they could exercise their franchise in the 2020 national elections.

The Constituency Chairman, Mr. Baffour Bannor emphasized the need for all NPP supporters in the constituency to unite and rally behind the MP for victory in the elections.
