NPP parliamentary race Adutwum Takes The Crown! … Receives overwhelming endorsement from delegates

Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bosomtwe Constituency in the Ashanti Region have reciprocated the good works of the Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, who as  the then Deputy Minister, introduced the ‘Double Track System’ that dealt with large number of students who had qualified for the Senior High School (SHS).

Following the sound policies introduced by the government, large number of Junior High School graduates qualified for the Free Senior High School. The sheer number of the qualified students overwhelmed the government assisted SHSs.

This forced Dr Adutwum and his team to think outside the outside box and introduced the Double Track System, which helped to admit all the qualified students.

Following this feat and the way he has handled the Ministry of Education, The Chronicle understands no party member filed his or her nomination papers to contest him.

In what appeared like a family reunion, the over 1,000 delegates sang the praise of the MP at a special delegates conference to endorse him as a sole contender for the seat.

Amidst singing and dancing, the delegates welcomed Dr Adutwum to the venue, in appreciation of his impactful leadership, which is transforming lives in the constituency as well.

Their excitement, which knew no bounds, delayed proceedings for a while, with party leaders having a tough time controlling them for the commencement of the acclamation.

The exercise, which was supervised by Madam Ernest Owusu Banahene, the District Director of the Electoral Commission was witnessed by some Regional Executives led by Adom Appiah, the Regional Secretary.

The overwhelming approval of Dr Adutwum by the delegates, according to the Regional Secretary, is a testament of how well the MP has served his constituents.

He applauded them for keeping faith with their MP, who is seen as one of the outstanding MPs, raising high the flag of the party in the region.

“I want to remind you that beyond your support for your affable MP, you have a responsibility to canvass for votes in your respective polling stations to help break the eight,” he entreated the delegates.

He emphasised the need to close their ranks and work towards a common goal of retaining power, in order not to truncate the pace of development of the country.

The Regional Secretary said the role of polling station executives was critical to the fortunes of the party, ahead of the 2024 General elections and urged them to step up their campaigns.

Dr Adutwum thanked the delegates for renewing their confidence in him and assured them of his unwavering determination to represent their interest to the best of his ability.

He said the confidence reposed in him would motivate him to do more to bring development to the constituency, while building the human resource base of Bosomtwe.

He recounted the massive infrastructural development he had brought to the constituency through their mandate, especially in the education sector.

“We have a task to accomplish together this year and I urge all of you to put your shoulders to the wheel to retain power collectively,” he told the delegates.
