Okatakyire, a well-known figure among the party’s youth ranks, is seeking to lead the NPP in the constituency in the next parliamentary election.
His declaration sets the stage for what is expected to be one of the keenly contested primaries in the Ashanti Region.
In a Facebook post, he expressed his desire to represent the constituency, describing himself as a son of the land committed to serving its people.
According to him, his ambition is driven by humility, faith and a deep love for the constituency, with a commitment to restoring the honour of the people and building a constituency that works for everyone.

He also called on residents and supporters to rally behind his ambition with prayers, support and their voices as he pursues the NPP parliamentary candidature.
“The journey ahead is ours to walk together, and I ask for your prayers, your support and your voice,” he added.
The former Angel TV and Happy FM presenter expressed hope in his ambition, using the phrases “Nyame Na Ɛsi Hene. Ɛbrɛ bɛdane!” to wit, ‘God makes kings’, and adding that “With OKAM, Freedom Shall Come.”
