The Ashanti Regional Chairman of Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), Kofi Owusu Omar, has said that for the first time the Asawase seat could be won by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
According to the GCPP Chairman, the seat appears to be in sight for capture following the rancor that has hit the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Parliament.
Speaking on Wontumi TV’s late afternoon political show dubbed the Talk Ghana show, Kofi Owusu Omar stated that “NPP can win the Asawase seat for the first time… Muntaka and Haruna won’t succeed because the party has weakened their wings.”
On Tuesday, January 24, 2023, the leadership of the NDC in Parliament was changed. Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson takes over from Haruna Iddrisu as the new Minority Leader.
Ellembelle MP, Kofi Armah Boah will replace James Klutse Avedzi as Deputy Minority Leader. Kwame Agbodza is now the Chief Whip for the opposition side and will be deputised by Banda MP, Ahmed Ibrahim and Ada legislator, Comfort Doyo Ghansah respectively.
