A VOTE FOR ADUOMI IS A BETRAYAL OF NPP’S 2024 AGENDA; POLITICAL EXPERT ADVICE

Former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ejisu constituency, Mr. Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, is poised to vie for the vacant Ejisu Parliamentary seat following the passing of John Kumah. However, his decision to contest as an independent candidate has stirred speculation about his strife with the NPP party.

Aduomi’s repeated failures to secure the NPP’s nomination for the constituency hint at underlying tensions between him and the party leadership.

Close sources reveal Aduomi’s lingering resentment towards the NPP, attributing his electoral defeats to orchestration from the presidency and perceived neglect by the party rather than shortcomings in his representation.

His disregard for the possibility of voter dissatisfaction with his tenure suggests a desire for retribution against the party that sidelined him.

Criticism of his tenure highlights issues like poor maintenance of Ejisu’s roads, which he believes contributed to his electoral setbacks.

According to a party communicator, “during his tenure as MP and Deputy Roads Minister, the Ejisu township roads were poorly maintained, and this contributed to his loss”. “The people were just tired of him”; he stressed, while noting the importance of the election to the NPP

Observers anticipate Aduomi’s vengeance to manifest through exploiting governance challenges, parliamentary dynamics, and the political strategies of figures like Dr. Bawumia.

Winning the seat could position him as a significant player in Parliament, presenting opportunities to challenge the government and undermine the NPP’s re-election efforts.

While Aduomi may be compelled to collaborate with the NPP given its stronghold in the region, friction is anticipated due to his strained relationship with the party.

His potential victory could signify weaknesses within the NPP’s support base, challenging perceptions of its dominance in the constituency and region.

Aduomi’s bid for the Ejisu Parliamentary seat reflects a complex interplay of personal ambition, party politics, and local dynamics, with implications for both the NPP’s internal cohesion and broader electoral dynamics in the region.

However, it is pertinent the NPP wins the by-election to demonstrate its sway over the constituency. Even more so for the supporters and sympathisers to not only avoid voting for him but also encourage others to do same to safeguard the ‘breaking-the-eight’ agenda.
