KOFI BUAH AND THE RECORD OF HON. FREDDIE BLAY, THE GROUP WAS OF THE OPINION THAT MR KOFI BUAH IS THE BEST SUITED PERSON TO REPRESENT THE COSTITUENCY.

THE APC IS A CONCERNED CITIZENS GROUP WHICH AMONG OTHER AIMS AND OBJECTIVES, IDENTIFIES AND PROMOTES YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN WITH VIBRANT AND PROGRESSIVE IDEAS, DOABLE PROJECT PLANS THAT WILL BRING REAL DEVELOPMENT TO THEIR DISTRICTS.

ADVOCATES FOR PROGRESSIVE CHANGE HAVE IN AN EALIER PRESS BRIEFING, ENDORSED MR. EMMANUEL KWESI BEDZRAH, AS THE CANDIDATE TO ELECT AS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR THE HO WEST CONSTITUENCY IN THE VOLTA REGION, GHANA.

MR. BEDZRAH AND MR. KOFI-BUAH REPRESENT A CROP OF YOUNG PEOPLE EMERGING ON THE POLITICAL SCENE IN GHANA.

MR. KWESI NYARKU, AN EXECUTIVE MEMBER, ADDED THAT APC FINDS MR KOFI BUAH'S AGENDA OF “THE CITEZENS' PLAN AND ENGAGEMENT” AS NOUVEAU, EXITING, CHALLENGING AND LAUDABLE:, ALSO, MR FREDDIE BLAY, WHO HAS BEEN THE MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT SINCE 1996, HAS SERVED HIS TIME.A FRESH PERSON WITH PROGRESSIVE IDEAS WITH NEW ENERGY IS NEEDED TO STEP IN. MORE SO, THE FLIRTATION OF MR. BLAY, A CPP MP AND THE NPP IS SELF SERVING. ADVANCING THE CAUSE OF THE NPP AGAINST HIS OWN CPP IS OPPORTUNISTIC AND DOES NOT SERVE THE CONTITUENCY WELL. DR.
