David Boateng Asante, former Managing Director of Ghana Publishing Company Limited has declared his intention to contest for the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nkawkaw Constituency of the Eastern Region, expressing confidence in his ability to lead the party to victory in the next general election.
In a declaration of intent, Mr Asante said his decision followed extensive consultations with his family, friends, party leadership, delegates and constituents.
He said his experience, commitment and grassroots support placed him in a strong position to strengthen the party’s electoral fortunes in the constituency.
Mr Asante disclosed that he had contested twice and contributed to the party’s growth over the past two decades.
He said his immediate priorities would be to reverse what he described as the nearly 17,000-vote decline suffered by the party in the last election, secure a decisive victory for the party’s presidential candidate, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and retain the Nkawkaw parliamentary seat.
Outlining his vision, he pledged to provide what he described as bold and purposeful leadership, accelerate development in Nkawkaw and strengthen the party at all levels.
“I am ready to lead, ready to serve and ready to win,” he said, calling on party members and supporters to unite to restore the party’s electoral strength.
Mr Asante is positioning himself as “The New Hope for Nkawkaw Constituency” as he seeks to lead the party in the area.
