The Gomoa Central Constituency which has been the stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the past 8 years has been lost to an independent parliamentary candidate, Kwame Asare Obeng alias A-Plus.
In an exclusive interview with 3news on December 8, A-Plus expressed his excitement as MP-elect stating that “I am not excited because I have won but I am happy because Gomoa Central is going to see something new, a change that will bring changes. Gomoa Central will witness development both in infrastructure and in the lives of the people”.
A-Plus added that he is not surprised with the outcome because the constituency has witnessed hardship for the past eight years “and all politicians should note that, there’s a challenge in Ghanaian politics and things have changed. Gone are the days 10-20 years ago when Ghanaians vote because of material things.”
Kwame Asare said he will address all challenges in the constituency, “I gave Ghanaian politicians the opportunity to do what is right and also serve the people but they refused so I am here do it myself.”
Meanwhile speaking to Stephen, a constituent, he said, he and his friends decided to vote for A-Plus because they are tired of a female as their leader.
“We thought a woman could bring change, but eight good years have been wasted and besides men can lead better than women,” he said.
Some sympathizers of the National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate are not happy about the outcome of the election. They said “we are disappointed, but it’s ok”
