The Ashanti Regional Minister, Hon Simon Osei-Mensah on Thursday inaugurated a 39 member campaign team for the Asokwa Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In Asokwa, the Campaign Team would be co-chaired by the Member of Parliament, Madam Patricia Appiagyei and the Constituency Chairman, Reverend Benjamin Fosu Nkromah.

 

 

The membership of the Campaign Team consists of an elected regional executive, the Member of Parliament (MP), Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) constituency executives, representative of elected assembly members, representative of electoral area coordinators as well as others as stipulated by the party including those who would serve as advisors from the council of patrons and council of elders.

Speaking ahead of the swearing in ceremony, the Regional Minister urged the team to stay united and work together for the common good of the party.

‘’ I can say with all the experiences I have that money helps in prosecuting good campaign strategies but the most potent amongst them all is doing so with a united front and I know when Asokwa is able to demonstrate that you would record massive voter turn-out and margin of victory’’, Hon Osei-Mensah stressed.

Details:

Speaking at the event, Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Asokwa, Chief Akwannuasah Gyimah encouraged members of the campaign team as well as the entire membership of the NPP in Asokwa to be ready to work beyond themselves.
