The Convention People's Party (CPP) is lacing boots to wrestle the Kumbungu seat in Northern Region.
The party lost the seat in 2016 to National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate Ras Mubarak, the incumbent Member of Parliament.

Following this determination, he explained that adequate measures have been put in place to actualize the dream of winning the seat back.
These measures include restructuring of the base of the party, empowerment of polling station executives with a renewed vow, mobilization of the youth to register more in the ongoing registration exercise, among other campaign strategists been employed and carried out by the youth to make a strong statement in terms of influencing the voting pattern in December.
Aside that, the Acting National Youth Organizer of the CPP believes, apart from his personal record as one of the grassroot leaders of the party, the CPP has always been one of the strongest forces in the Constituency, therefore making his chances brighter than ever before.

"I will offer a youth consultative programme called Community Project when elected as a Member of Parliament. With this point, the youth in each community within the constituency will have a say or will be consulted before any project is been executed. Their views in my leadership will matter because, I'm one of them and we are the majority and representing the future in the constituency," Nabila Alhassan Basiru underscored.
As part of his commitment, he said he would lobby central government for pressing projects for the good people of Kumbungu constituency.
"Projects like rural electrification, school projects, healthcare facilities, sports facilities, water projects, and micro financial supports, among other social intervention programs been championed by government".
The CPP candidate said he would judiciously increase the allocation of his common fund to support education growth with emphasis on needy students within the constituency as education is key to enlightening the minds of our people.
"With this, I'm going to set up a neutral or a non-partisan education committee to manage my educational fund in distribution of money to students. I will also set up and launch an educational foundation to raise funds for the good people of Kumbungu constituency. This will be the first time in the history of Kumbungu constituency," he added.
In terms of social engagements, he said he would be doing community engagements to account to the chiefs and people of the Constituency in the first four years in office.
