2020 polls: Suame youth want Prempeh to run as Independent candidate

The Concerned Youth of Suame Magazine have declared their support for businessman George Prempeh known in private life as ‘Baashaka’ to contest as an Independent candidate for the constituency in the upcoming parliamentary elections.

According to the youth group, led by Augustine Danso, the incumbent MP for the Suame Constituency who double as minister of Parliamentary Affairs and Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu in parliament have failed to serve the interest of the constituents for over 20 years he represented them in parliament.

Speaking with Ultimate News after they were prevented by the police to address the media Augustine Danso, spokesperson for the group said,” the youth in the Suame constituency have lost hope in Our long serving MP Osei Kyei-Bonsu he has failed us therefore we can’t vote for him again to represent us in parliament.

“He can’t point a single project he has done in Magazine including hospital, including our roads. Enough is enough we are by this interview calling on all eligible voters in Suame constituency to vote against him for a fresh development oriented person like Mr. George Prempeh known as Baashaka”

The group also called on President Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo not to intervene in this matter insisting the youth are ready to renew the mandate NPP presidential candidate but not Osei Kyei Mensah Bonsu.

“We know for sure that the President will intervene for Mr. George Prempeh to step down in the race to parliament but it wont work we the youth are ready to vote out our under performing MP so…Nana please allow us to take the best decision for the constituency in the interest of the New Patriotic Party in the Suame Constituency.”



However, responding to the youth group Maxwell Ofosu-Boakye aide to the Suame MP said, the threats by the group is much I do about nothing.

“I will want to state on record that, Geore Prempeh is never a member of NPP in Suame constituency he is just doing the bidding of his pay masters the NDC for the contracts they awarded him while they were in government”

The Suame municipal assembly presiding member agreed that Suame constituency roads are bad but stressed efforts are underway to fix them within the shortest time before the elections.

“Yes it is true that our roads are bad but we are busing working on the roads, currently contractors are on site working on Maakro and Tarkwa-Maakro roads.

“Currently, we done with Breman, UGC, Abusuakuruwaa and part of old Suame roads so the MP is working on the roads concerns in the constituency. Therefore I will like people to treat the NDC Propaganda with the contempt it deserves”.
