The New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in the Bosomtwe Constituency of the Ashanti region on Saturday unanimously approved Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum’s bid to represent them in Parliament for the 3rd time through a popular acclamation held at Jachie, in the Ashanti region.

The event supervised by the Bosomtwe District Officer of the Electoral Commission (EC), Mrs Ernestina Owusu-Banahene, saw over one thousand delegates shouting ‘yes’ when the question was asked by the officer during the extraordinary delegate’s conference. All the delegates present at the function as well as other members of the party got up shouting “All of us”, "All of us”, “No challenger”, “No challenger”, when the EC Officer asked if any delegate was in support of the MP.

However, when the question was asked of those who did not support him, all the delegates present as well as other members of the party stood up shooting “No challenger”, “No challenger”, and the EC officer had no option than to declare Dr. Adutwum elected.

Dr Adutwum, who is also the Minister for Education, in his response, lauded the delegates for the trust they have reposed in him by electing him for the 3rd time to contest as a parliamentary candidate. He praised the leadership of the party in the constituency and all members of the party for their support and promised to work very hard to raise the flag of Bosomtwe high.

Dr Adutwum assured the party of his commitment to continue working towards developing the constituency and the rest of the country. “I want to assure you that every community in the constituency will have its fair share of the national cake, you should be patient and keep supporting me and the party to win the 2024 election”, he said.
