the Ejisu-Juaben constituency expressed confidence in the delegates of the party to give him the nod to lead the party. I am prepared, and I will go a long haul.

kudos to the ever-cherished gallant men and women of the New Patriotic Party for their hard work in service to our great tradition of the New Patriotic Party, towards our electoral victories, especially in the 2020 general elections. I truly believe that both executive and non-executive members deserve commendation and reward,
