The NDC parliamentary candidate for Essikado-Ketan Constituency, Professor Dr. Grace Ayensu-Danquah, has assured electorates in that she will do her best to transform the area when voted into office.
She believes her Constituency which is in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis has not been represented well ever since Joe Ghartey became their legislator for over fifteen years.
Speaking at her campaign launch at Essikado on Saturday, September 29,2024, the surgeon assured residents that she was ready to serve them and bring transformation to the area.
She also promised to protect the votes of the electorates in the December 7 2024 general elections.
She said her quest to lead the people stems from the lack of developmental projects in the Constituency.
Unlike 2020 when she lost to the incumbent MP, Joe Ghartey, Prof. Dr. Ayensu-Danquah said she was well prepared this year to snatch the Essikado-Ketan seat to be able to implement her vision for the people.
“In the 2020 elections, you voted for me to represent you in Parliament and drive development and good governance to improve your lives. I heard your cries for change, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fulfill that mandate, ” she said.
” I thank you for believing in me and trusting me to bring about positive change. I’m committed to making a difference in our constituency when given the opportunity to lead,” she assured.
She noted that although she is not in office as their MP, she has helped buy taxis for some unemployed drivers and helped enroll hundreds in skills training.
“I have provided boreholes for most communities to get access to potable drinking water and assisted most you in many ways… the MP you voted has turned his back at you but I will represent you well when you votes for me come December 7,” she assured the crowd.
Dr. Ayensu Danquah appealed to her constituents to rally behind her and John Mahama, promising to bring the development they deserve.
“This is a pivotal moment for me to make a positive impact on our constituency. If given the opportunity to lead, I’m committed to bringing tangible infrastructure development to our community.”
She also mentioned that she understood the major challenges the people face, and when voted to office, she will do her best to address them.
Prof. Dr Ayensu pledged to improve on infrastructural development, assist the youth to get sustainable jobs when voted to power.
“I’ll help the unemployed youth to get jobs. I’ll get you tricycles, get you taxis on hire purchase, continue with my apprenticeship programme and health outreach programmes. I won’t fail you, ” she stated in Akan.
On her part, former Women Organiser of the NDC, Anita Desoso appealed to the people to give Prof. Dr Ayensu-Danquah the mandate because she’s committed and competent to lead and give them a voice in Parliament.
Deputy Minority Leaderamd MP for Ellembelle, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah who also spoke at the programme assured the people that he would support her to bring developmental projects to Essikado-Ketan.
“Even as she is not in office, she has done a lot for you. The people of Ellembelle have even benefitted from her so when you give her the mandate, she will deliver,” he stated.
Present at the event was former MCE for Suhum, Margaret Ansei (Magoo), Deputy NDC Secretary, Mustapha Gbande, Elikem Koto, Certified economist and youth activist, Bernard Oduro Takyi (BOT) among other leading members of the party in the Western Region.
