President Kufuor said he would need competent and visionary Parliamentarians to assist his administration to move the nation forward and, therefore, appealed to the electorate to support the NPP candidate to win the seat.
Nana Okeseku Afari Mintah, Omanhene of Agona Nsaban Traditional Area, said the people would support the Government to continue with its good work of fighting hunger, disease and ignorance confronting Ghanaians.
He gave the assurance that the chiefs and people would ensure peace and urged President Kufuor to concentrate on his vision for the country to enhance development.
