“I want to say that the power that has been entrusted to me by the delegates, I will give it back to them, and if I can do that, then they will have to work and support my work. I pledge to work closely with all the polling station executives, constituency executives, the region, and national executives and this goes beyond just the party because I will work with all my constituents to ensure the development of Offinso North.”
“I understand the importance of effective representation and believe that true power lies with the people. I plan to establish strong channels of communication between myself and the constituents, ensuring that their voices are heard and their issues are addressed.” He said
Dr. Asamoah explained that “my commitment to giving power back to the constituents is grounded in my belief in accountable and transparent governance. I aim to establish a strong and trusting relationship with my people, where their input is valued and their concerns are addressed promptly and effectively.”
