He continued "the massive turnout is indicative of our readiness to take this seat.

The General Secretary of the party Johnson Asiedu Nketia has charged the party members to intensify the campaign in the constituency and to come out in their numbers to vote for the parliamentary candidate.

The Parliamentary candidate Delali Kwesi Brempong on his part said he's hopeful of taking the seat from the NPP assuring his constituents of his capabilities in ensuring a speedy development among which security is paramount.

"I'm taking this seat with a 60% vote margin to restore hope and ensure development for my people" he said in a sideline interview with Fred Duhoe a freelance journalist.
