Tikobo No.1 (W/R), Jan. 4, GNA - The Member of Parliament (MP)-elect for Jomoro, Mr Paul Essien has expressed gratitude to his constituents for giving the New Patriotic Party (NPP) the mandate to represent them in Parliament.

It is the first time in the fourth Republic that the NPP has won the seat.

He therefore assured the people that their resolve to rally behind the NPP to wrestle the seat from the National Democratic Congress in the December general election would not go waste.

In an interview in with the GNA, Mr Essien, attributed the NPP's victory to the doing of God, and the hard work of the campaign teams who moved from community to community sell the Party's policies to Ghanaians.

Mr Essien said his tenure of office as an Assembly member spelt out his good fortunes in the elections as he initiated a number of developmental projects, including 53- new community principal streets in the area and an Educational Trust Fund to assist needy school children.

He said he constructed 76 market stores complex with 21 rooms guest house and 20 water closet toilet facilities as well as the construction of the new Tikobo No.1 market complex.

Mr Essien said he was instrumental in the renovation and modernisation of the chief's palace and the provision of a new football field.

The Tikobo No.1 Development festival which has become an annual ritual, was his brain child during his tenure as an Assembly member.
