What motivated you to run for MP in the forthcoming Ghana elections in Dec 2020?
Firstly, because I want to bring visible change to my constituents and secondly, I’m running for MP because it’s time to have persons of integrity, competence and genuine heart for service of the voiceless underrepresented people in parliament fighting for issues that are most important to them.
Wy La Dade Kotopon?
Because they are my people. I was born in Labone and that is part of La Dade Kotopon.
Why as an independent?
Because only an independent candidate with roots in the community can genuinely fight for and be an advocate for the people without compromising their local agenda for a political party’s broader often conflicting interests. Only what’s best for La Dade Kotopon is my focus and agenda!
Why does it matter to the Electorate personally and directly that they have an independent voice in Parliament?
Because I believe the country’s politics has been dominated by just two political parties and it’s time for a change.
How can we still make a positive difference together without being in the ruling party or a minister?
