6th February 2022
A vibrant communication team member of the governing New Patriotic Party, Mr. Silas Kwabena Agyekum has declared his interest in the New Juaben South constituency chairmanship position in the Eastern Region.
According to him, he has what it takes to mobilize supporters to vote for the NPP in both the parliamentary and the presidential elections to push the agenda of staying in power after 2024.
Speaking on the radio to announce his bid, he explained that, one of his reasons for lacing his boots for the chairmanship race of New Juaben South is to bring back the energy, love, and excitement that once held the party firmly together.
Kwabena Agyekum who is the current Constituency Treasurer, a position he has held for Two Terms and also the government appointee at the New Juaben South Municipal Assembly stated that breaking the eight is not for jokes and that the chairmanship position is meant for competent leadership.
He pointed out the urgent need to rejuvenate the grassroots which is the base of the party to serve as a foundation holding the party firmly to the ground to stand tall amongst other constituencies in the Eastern Region.
In his view, he has built himself in terms of institutional knowledge and experience through committees he serves at the New Juaben South Municipal Assembly, Regional and National Boards Committees, and in the party with relentless sacrifice for decades.
Mr. Silas, explains further that the constituency Chairmanship position is only fit for people who are self-dedicated, hard-working, have good communication skills, and above all, but someone who understands the cry of the grassroots supporters to lead the party to victory to ‘break the 8’ agenda.
He added that the government and the grassroots must come together and build a formidable structure that would let the party sail through and win again.
He emphasized the need to touch base with the grassroots and foot-soldiers to help propagate the good works of the MP for New Juaben South, Michael Okyere Baafi and President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led government and the ideals of the party.
