An aspiring parliamentary candidate in the upcoming NPP primaries is confident of harnessing the Ejura Sekyedumase Constituency seat from the incumbent NDC, Bawa Mohammed Braimah if given the shot to lead the party.
Gifty Ndoma believes she has what it takes to bridge the political divide and win the seat in the 2024 elections, and has urged delegates to support her.
Bridging the political divide between young people and political parties necessitates creative strategies that recognize the valid concerns of young people, she explained.
Madam Gifty says because it is necessary for political parties to meet young people where they are, she would do so in order to better understand the trends and identify critical ideas for strengthening connections between young people and the party.
In an interview with the media after picking up the nomination form, the former constituency secretary for the party told the gathering, "Insha Allah, Ejura will fall for the NPP."
Madam Gifty says her confidence to pick up nomination forms was inspired by the party's rank and file in the constituency.
"The party faithful have seen my leadership qualities," she said, adding that, "they have confidence and trust in me."
According to her, she has served the constituency well in numerous positions and would bring in accountable leadership to guarantee their concerns are heard in parliament.
Madam Gifty and her party supporters walked through the streets of Ejura to demonstrate her intentions and bring more people closer to her for victory.
They all dressed in party colors, confident that their chosen aspirant would make a significant impact and finally win the primary.
They also sung victory and party songs, encouraging the contender to win and represent them in the parliamentary elections.
"For the first time in history, the constituency elected a female party secretary. The constituents and the party have never disappointed me because I am a listener," she explained.
On July 11, 2023, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) opened nominations for parliamentary primaries in areas where the party has no representation.
The nomination period will end on Thursday, August 10, with elections scheduled from September to December.
According to the party, male aspiring parliamentary candidates must pay a non-refundable filing fee of GH₵35,000, while women and those with disabilities pay half of the fee.
Aspirants have been asked to follow the party's constitution and use the proper mechanism to channel any issues that may arise.
