I have been beaten by a political party particularly for those who vote for a particular line. But for my capability and ability, I am always on top.
And people have now seen that I have even gone ahead and by God’s grace through the president to be the regional minister and through that, a lot has been done in Obuasi which makes me a better candidate”.
The Obuasi West seat is currently in the hands of NPP’s Kwaku Kwarteng who the Ashanti Regional Minister will be seeking to snatch from.
