The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has expressed unwavering confidence in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate's ability to clinch victory in the ongoing Ejisu by-election.

Taking to social media on Tuesday, April 30, Mr Ahiagbah rallied the residents of Ejisu constituency to overwhelmingly support Kwabena Boateng at the polls.

According to him, victory for the NPP in the by-election would not only serve as a tribute to the late legislator, Dr John Kumah, but also symbolise the endorsement of Vice President Bawumia and the party ahead of the December 7 general elections.

Good people of Ejisu will make a statement today by voting massively for Kwabena Boateng, #2 on the ballot. A victory for the NPP in this by-election will not only honor the memory of Dr. John Kumah but also signal the triumph of Bawumia and the NPP on December 7th. Let's join… pic.twitter.com/QzCg35xdEB
