"What l am saying was that if there are chances that the NDC can vote and provide all the three NDC parliamentary hopefuls of the Lower West Akim to represent the people in Parliament, it would be done easily...but the rules and regulations regulating the election stipulates that the constituency can choose only one person to represent its people in parliament.
"Following this development, the delegates of the NDC are going to vote and elect the parliamentary candidate to lead the NDC front in the Lower West Akim. And that after the delegates and members vote and elect this candidate, it is important that all the people who contested the primaries and lost to indeed encourage their supporters and sympathizers to bury their differences and join the winner of the race so that the NDC can win the Lower West Akim seat in the 2024 general elections," Former President Dramani Mahama advised.
He stressed that; "The Lower West Akim constituency parliamentary seat is the seat that the NDC must surely wrestle from the NPP. But sometimes because of the lack peace and unity within the members and supporters of the party in the area, the NDC found it extremely difficult to win the seat.
"However come 2024 general election, l have confident and strong belief that something strange or extraordinary is going to happen in the 2024 in Lower West Akim Constituency in favour of the NDC," he further emphasized.
Although there is a clear chance of the party to snatch the seat from the NPP in the 2024, former President Dramani Mahama was quick to repeat the call on executives, supporters and members of the NDC to work assiduously to ensure the victory of the NDC in the area, come 2024.
