Asiwa — CONSTITUENTS of the Bosome-Freho constituency in the Ashanti Region are prevailing upon their Member of Parliament (MP), Mr. Edward Nana Yaw Ofori-Kuragu, to go solo, and represent them in Parliament, as an independent candidate in the impending elections.
They described him as visionary, selfless and development-oriented, having brought much more development to the area than his predecessor, who was in parliament for 12 years.
The constituents pledged their support, and encouraged him to represent their interests by going solo in the impending elections, in December this year, in order to finish the good works he initiated for the area.
They mentioned some of the achievements of the MP, as the provision of infrastructural facilities like a two-storey GETFund dormitory, at the Bosome-Freho High Technical School at Asiwa.
They said he had also been instrumental in the creation of the district, and the establishment of a rural bank, which would soon begin operations.
The MP was also said to have provided electricity poles, to over 40 communities, and supplied roofing sheets and cement, to each community for development projects, since 2005.
The constituents further lauded the MP's good relations, and constant interaction with them, saying 80 per cent of the electorate in the area, still admired him and wanted him to still represent their interests in Parliament.
They have given him a month's ultimatum, to respond positively to their demand, before they would consider the "skirt and blouse" pattern of voting.
The MP, who recently lost the primary to represent the NPP, has embarked on a tour of the constituency.
The two-week tour took him to all the communities in the constituency, during which the constituents lauded his efforts at bringing development to the area, within the four year term he served their interests in Parliament.
MP Ofori-Kuragu is yet to respond to their request.
