He said he would lobby for a lot of developmental projects for the Constituency.

“I urge all NPP members here that we all come together. The contest is over. We need to unite and push NPP forward. God bless you all,” he said.

The NPP Constituency Chairman for Anyaa Sowutuom, Mr Anthony Boadu, also urged all the Party members to give their full support to Mr Tobbin to secure the Party’s victory in the 2024 general election.

Nana Agyenim Boateng, NPP Constituency Secretary for Anyaa Sowutuom, said the election had been successful.

“I anticipated that the election was going to be free, fair, transparent and peaceful. And that was exactly what the delegates demonstrated.

“Going forward, we need unity so we can forge ahead to maintain power, so that by 7th January 2025, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia would be sworn in as the next President of this Republic,” he said.

He congratulated both the winner and the incumbent MP as well as the delegates for comporting themselves well throughout the voting process.

He also commended the security services and the Electoral Commission for working hard to ensure a successful election.
