The Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Energy Ministry, Kwasi Obeng Fosu, has picked nomination forms to contest the Adentan seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The nomination forms was picked by his supporters on his behalf on Tuesday, July 11.
Following this, a huge number of residents of the Adentan Constituency thronged his campaign office to witness the presentation of the nomination forms to him.
They were led by a former Electoral Area Coordinator for Amrahia-Malejor, Mrs. Baaba Maison, and the current Coordinator for New Adentan East Electoral Area, Kelly Steve Oppong Nyinah, who picked the form from the constituency party office earlier on Tuesday when nominations were opened for the upcoming primaries.
The procession to the campaign office of Mr Obeng Fosu, popularly known as Baba Tauffic the Homeboy, was marked with singing and dancing in what could be described as a carnival.
Present at the presentation were several Constituency Executives, Electoral Area Coordinators, Members of the Council of Elders, Members of the Council of Patrons, Polling Station Executives and party faithfuls who came to lend their support.
Presenting the forms, Mrs. Maison said she was delighted that such a hardworking and very popular grassroots politician in Adentan has offered himself to lead the party to reclaim its lost seat in 2024.
She recalled that Obeng Fosu as the Constituency Youth Organiser led the youth wing to secure its first ever twin victory for the party in 2016 together with his colleague constituency executives at the time, when the then candidate Yaw Buaben Asamoa won the seat and President Akufo-Addo won the presidential race in the constituency.
“My success as Electoral Area Coordinator would not have been possible without the support, hard work and loyalty of our Homeboy Baba Tauffic when he was the Constituency Youth Organizer. Today, he has risen to become the youngest Member of the Council of Patrons and it is time to reward his hard work by rallying behind him for victory,” she urged to a thunderous applause.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Obeng-Fosu, currently the PRO of the Energy Ministry, said he was both overwhelmed and surprised by the love shown by his fellow patriots that thronged his office for the presentation.
“I sincerely thank you all for your massive grassroot support. Today, I assure you that the confidence you have reposed in me will not be taken for granted.
“With your support and prayers, and through Christ who strengthens us all, I believe that victory shall be ours in 2024,” he declared to loud cheers from the excited crowd.
Dedicating his forms to God and to the party’s footsoldiers, he urged all party members to continue supporting him, the party and government through thick and thin so that together the NPP will ‘break the eight’ with a seat from Adentan and a commanding majority in Parliament.
