"The NDC won the Asawasi seat in 1992 and has retained the seat ever since, including a victory in the recently held by-elections, and shall continue to maintain such a lead in the constituency", he stressed.

Mr J.B. Salifu, NDC constituency secretary for Asawasi, advised members to vote for right-thinking people as executives in the ward and branch executives elections.
