Julius Debrah Rallies Support in Akwatia Ahead of Crucial By-Election
Julius Debrah, the Chief of Staff, made a significant appearance in Akwatia today to drum up support for the ruling party’s candidate in the forthcoming by-election in the Eastern Region constituency.
The visit of Debrah comes just a week before the scheduled voting day on September 2, as both major political parties intensify their efforts to secure the vacant parliamentary seat. The presence of Debrah signifies the National Democratic Congress’s strong determination to clinch what has traditionally been opposition territory.
Key Points:
- Debrah’s agenda includes meetings with traditional leaders and community elders before hitting the streets of Akwatia to engage directly with the public.
- The NDC’s candidate, lawyer Benard Bediako Baidoo, will be the focus of Debrah’s campaign efforts.
- The by-election was triggered by the passing of Ernest Kumi, the previous NPP representative for the constituency, creating a political vacuum.
- Both parties are vying for Akwatia’s strategic significance beyond just the parliamentary seat, with implications for voter sentiment toward the current administration.
- Local issues such as mining, infrastructure, and youth employment are central to the campaign discourse, with environmental restoration being a key topic.
Debrah’s involvement in the by-election signifies the NDC’s serious intent to secure victory in a constituency that has historically leaned towards the opposition. His reputation as a seasoned political strategist is expected to galvanize grassroots support and sway undecided voters.
The upcoming contest on September 2 will serve as a litmus test for both parties’ organizational prowess and their ability to resonate with voters in a shifting political landscape.
