Businessman, Rev. Edward Agyekum Kufuor has formally declared his intention to contest for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidacy for the Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency.
According to a statement issued, Mr. Kufuor said his decision follows prayerful reflection and consultation.
“Atwima Nwabiagya North is home. It is the land my father, H.E. John Agyekum Kufuor, served as Member of Parliament before leading Ghana. I return not to trade on a name, but to earn your trust through service, strategy and practical solutions for our people,” he stated.
The son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, outlined his key priorities for the constituency, including championing motorable feeder roads to link farming communities to markets, value addition for cocoa and food crops, protection of the Barekese catchment that waters Kumasi, quality schools and health facilities, and jobs, skills and enterprise support to keep the youth working at home.
He stressed that party unity and inclusivity would be his first commitment, pledging to work with fellow aspirants, executives, past and present, polling station executives, electoral area coordinators and grassroots members to keep Atwima Nwabiagya North an unbreakable NPP stronghold.
At the national level, Mr. Kufuor said he would commit his resources, networks and experience to the NPP’s collective effort to recapture power in 2028, regain majority seats in Parliament, and support the presidential ambition of H.E. Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
“To me, leadership means service, strategy and solutions. Above all, the needs of the people of Atwima Nwabiagya North come first, before personal ambition or family name,” he added.
He said he looks forward to meeting party members, chiefs and every stakeholder as they write a new chapter for Atwima Nwabiagya North.
