Former COCOBOD Director of Public Affairs, Fiifi Boafo, has announced his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem Constituency. Boafo, a well-known figure in the party's communications machinery, is seeking to lead the NPP in the constituency in the next parliamentary election. His declaration sets the stage for a keenly contested primary in the Western Region.
Reports indicate that former Member of Parliament for the area, George Mireku Duker, is also eyeing a comeback. Duker lost the seat to the NDC's Salifu Taylor in the last election, after serving as MP for the constituency. If both men confirm their bids, the Tarkwa-Nsuaem NPP primary will become a major battle between a former MP seeking to reclaim the seat and a new face seeking to lead the party into the next election.
Party supporters in the constituency are already watching closely as the contest begins to take shape. The Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency has been a battleground for the NPP and NDC in previous elections. The NPP has been seeking to regain the seat, which was lost to the NDC in the last election. Boafo's declaration has generated excitement among some party supporters, who see him as a strong contender.
Fiifi Boafo's background in communications is expected to be an asset in the primaries. As the former Director of Public Affairs at COCOBOD, he has experience in public relations and communications. His ability to articulate the party's message and engage with voters will likely be an important factor in the primaries.
George Mireku Duker's potential comeback has also generated interest among party supporters. As a former MP for the constituency, Duker has experience in parliamentary affairs and has a track record of representing the constituency. His return to the fray could provide a boost to the NPP's chances of winning the seat.
The NPP primaries in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency are expected to be closely contested. Other aspirants may also declare their intention to contest, adding to the excitement. The party's leadership will be watching closely to ensure that the primaries are conducted fairly and transparently.
The outcome of the NPP primaries in the Tarkwa-Nsuaem constituency will have implications for the party's chances in the next parliamentary election.
