Ms Gifty Ndoma , on 8th August 2023 filed nomination to become the parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party in the Ejura-Sekyeredumase constituency of the Ashanti region.
The occasion was amidst pomp and pageantry with hundreds of Party supporters flanking the young and fast-rising politician as they strolled through the principal streets of Ejura to hand over her nomination form and banker’s draft to the Party at the constituency office. Beaming with all smile Ms Ndoma spoke about her prospects and the prospects of the NPP. “Yes, we know traditionally, this has been an NDC seat, but with me leading the NPP, we can unseat the NDC, the NPP has done it before”, she said. According to her “she is in the race because the people of Ejura have called on her to do so because they feel jettisoned in national affairs with no representation”. She believes she can “give the people of Ejura the needed representation when given the nord”. Speaking on unity she advised her supporters to “refrain from acts that could divide the Party after the primaries”. “We are one people, one family, this is a family matter and so nobody should be acrimonious, let’s have clean contest”, Ms Ndoma stressed. Excitement was written all over the scores of supporters clad in her t shirts, as they sang and danced. One supporter said, “it is only Gifty who win the seat for us hence our support for her”. One other sweaty supporter speaking on the chances of Gifty as a woman opined that “it is not about being a woman or man… it is about competence and we think she is very competent looking at her track record”. Ms Gifty Ndoma has been the constituency secretary of the party for the past six or so years and only stepped aside, per the guidelines of the party, to contest to become the PC. This is her first successful attempt to contest as she was prevented in the previous contest from contesting. Many say she’s the new dawn of the Constituency. More soon.
