“If the people of Mfantseman Constituency vote for me to become their Member of Parliament in the upcoming election, I will make sure to continue and complete all the projects left by her husband,” she assured the people of Mfantseman.

The NPP Constituency Chairman, Alhaji Jibril Adam, also thanked the National Executive Council for accepting the constituency’s proposal to replace the late Mfantseman MP with his wife.

“On behalf of the Mfantseman Constituency, we want to assure the party that, we will fully support her with all our strength to able her to win the seat.”

Meanwhile, the Central Region Women Caucus in Parliament has thrown its weight behind Mrs Kwansah Hayford.

Led by MP for Awutu Senya East Mavis Hawa Koomson, the Caucus said they fully support the widow and asked all supporters of the party and others to throw their weight behind the new candidate.
