New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates within the Sefwi Wiawso constituency in the western north region have thrown their unflinching support and decided to vote massively for Festus Bumakama Agyapong in the upcoming party parliamentary primaries to retain the seat in 2024.
Festus Bumakama Agyapong, a native of Sefwi Wiawso and a Ghanaian based Mining Engineer has won the hearts of the teeming youth within the Sefwi Wiawso constituency notably the NPP delegates who believe he can use his influence to create job opportunities for them.
According to the NPP delegates in the Sefwi Wiawso constituency who spoke with this newspaper, Festus Bumakama Agyapong is very sociable, humble, affable and respectful who has won the hearts of many; including floating voters in the constituency.
Delegates further hinted that the government of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo since 2017 has brought developments in Sefwi Wiawso which the electorates would attest to, but the NPP needs someone as very youthful and energetic young man as Festus Bumakama Agyapong as he is affectionately called to maintain the parliamentary seat in 2024.
The NPP delegates in Sefwi Wiawso further disclosed to this reporter that majority of the teeming NPP faithful, sympathisers as well as the youth want the current Member of Parliament changed to be replaced with someone who is down-to-earth and thinks much about the well-being of the youth, including someone who has the lobbying skills to secure employment opportunities to the youth and that it is ” Buma ” they are rooting for.
The delegates further stressed that the Sefwi Wiawso NPP parliamentary seat could only be maintained in the next general elections if the current MP is changed.
Information gathered from the Sefwi Wiawso constituency revealed that Festus Bumakama Agyapong, Buma, in October last month, during the 21 days Limited Voters Registration Exercises organised by the Electoral Commission nationwide, Festus Bumakama Agyapong through his own funds provided free food, drinks and transportation in and out to those who have attained the age of 18 years the opportunity to register at the municipal EC office in Sefwi Wiawso in a period of 21 days.
Barely some weeks ago, over 700 NPP delegates within the Sefwi Wiawso constituency clad in NPP colours and T-shirts and placards with various inscriptions such as “Buma” our next hope, No Buma no vote in 2024, Buma is the best choice of NPP delegates, Buma all the way amongst other inscriptions that welcomed Festus Bumakama Agyapong to the 2023 Annual Elluo Festival grounds in Sefwi Wiawso.
Similar placards with inscriptions carried by teeming NPP delegates, sympathisers and faithfuls were also seen during a grand durbar of chiefs and people from all walks of life to witness the climax of the 2023 Elluo Festival which His Excellency the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo was the special guest of honour.
