“My continue stay in power is as a result of trust, faith Asawase people have in me” – Muntaka

Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed Mubarak, Member of Parliament for Asawase has attributed his continued triumph in the parliamentary elections over the years, to the profound bond he has with the people.

“My continue stay in power is not a product of financial influence, but rather, the trust and faith the people of Asawase have in me as their representative in parliament”, Alhaji Muntaka, told the media after he was declared as the MP-elect for the constituency by the Electoral Commission.

He pointed out that though wealth was important, love surpassed its significance, adding that “with genuine affection towards fellow human beings, the prospect of failure diminishes.”

Alhaji Muntaka secured his sixth consecutive term as NDC MP for Asawase in the December 07, 2024 elections.

He polled 41,667 out of the 73,001 valid votes cast to beat Manaf Ibrahim of the NPP, who had 31,049 votes.

Ms Naomi Nsor of LPG had 77 votes, Issah Baba Kampo of PPP had 107, and Alhassan Rafick, an independent candidate had 101.

Alhaji Muntaka attributed this accomplishment to the trust the people in the area had in him, saying, earning such trust over an extended period was no mean feat.

He acknowledged the low turnout of voters in the elections in the area and said it was a reflection of the current socio-economic situation in the country.

He thanked the people for their continued support and said he would continue to work hard to promote development and improve the living conditions of the people in the area.
