Some NPP polling station executives in the Mpraeso Constituency on Friday, January 31, 2020 picked nomination forms for Mr Davis Opoku Ansah, popularly known as OPK to contest the party’s   parliamentary primaries.

Speaking to the media, leader of the group Dr Simon Ofori said, “We volunteered to pick the forms for OPK to answer the many calls from the voters in our areas. As you are aware, we represent their voice in NPP and it is important we listen to them.”

Adding that, “The people have seen the little things OPK has done for them. Today, taxi drivers, market women, youth groups among others are all clamoring for him to represent the constituency in parliament. His skills development programs and larger vision to contribute to the Kwahu rising agenda has been noticed by our people”

He used the occasion to call for a clean campaign devoid of insults, “We are one party. We have one agenda and that is to give Nana a second term. We can only achieve that if we avoid insults amongst us during this period of contest. It should be about ideas only”

Mr Opoku, a Public Relations Consultant, is a long-standing activist of the party and contributed in diverse ways towards the development of the party. He is also the Operations Director of the Pro-Government pressure group, Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG).

The Mpraeso Constituency has been a fortress for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) with Seth Kwame Acheampong occupying the seat since 2009.

He succeeded Dr Francis Osafo Mensah, who had occupied the seat since 1996.
