The Paramount Chief of the Kpassa Traditional Area, Dr. Ubor Tossan Konja VI, has endorsed the candidacy of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to him, Dr. Bawumia has already been ordained as the next president of the country, dismissing the need for him to campaign extensively across the nation.

Dr. Ubor Tossan Konja VI made this known in a video sighted by GhanaWeb on Monday, October 28, 2024, when Dr. Bawumia paid him a courtesy visit during his tour of the Oti Region.

“As for the election, you have already won. Your campaign tour is simply an opportunity to engage with the youth who may not yet know you as Ghana’s President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. There is no need for you to campaign because victory is already yours,” he said.

Dr. Ubor Tossan Konja VI, however, lamented the lack of developmental projects in the district, particularly the deplorable state of the Damongo-Nkwanta Road and the absence of a district hospital.

He, therefore, called on Dr. Bawumia to address these concerns once he officially assumes office as the president of the country.

“We urge you to prioritise the development of our Damongo-Nkwanta Road, as this is a major concern for us. Additionally, we lack a district hospital where pregnant women and sick patients can receive treatment.

“Currently, they are referred all the way to Nkwanta or Tamale, which significantly impacts their health. Many of these women end up undergoing surgery and, tragically, some lose their lives. We appeal to you to address these issues once you are officially sworn in,” he appealed.
