Kufuor’s son joins Ayawaso West Wuogon NPP race
Son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, Rev. Edward Agyekum Kufuor, has filed his nomination to contest the Ayawaso West Wuogon parliamentary seat on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party. The filing of the nomination Sunday marks the political career of the preacher man-cum-actor, who said his focus is to ensure the needs of the people, particularly the youth in the constituency are catered for. He joins five other NPP members vying for the seat which became vacant in November following the death of Emmanuel Kyerematen Agyarko. They are expected to face the five-member electoral committee at the party’s headquarters today to be vetted.
Mr. Kufuor explained being in parliament would provide him the platform to cause change and make Ghana a better place. Who is Edward Agyekum Kufuor? “I’ve come to appreciate that politics provides a platform like no other to address some of the pressing issues faced by our youth who often have no voice” he stated.
