I will unseat ”arrogant and rude” Ursula - Akweley

The 2011 first runner-up in Ghana’s Most Beautiful, Miss Jacqueline Akweley Nartey-Amu has expressed her interest to contest the Ablekuma West Constituency seat on the ticket of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) when the party open nominations for interested candidates to contest.

The former beauty queen said she will unseat the incumbent MP, Hon. Ursula Owusu, whom she described as rude and arrogant; whose victory in the last election was by luck.

Akweley as she is popularly called, said she is well prepared and well-grounded to unseat Hon. Ursula Owusu who has failed woefully as an MP.

The 30-years-old Sanitation Ambassador and Entrepreneur said she is a registered member of the NDC and her efforts within the party would pave way for her victory come 2016 when she is elected.

She said it was time for young people to support their own who have the sole aim of contesting in the upcoming elections to wrestle power from the older ones who have failed and disappointed them.

She insisted that one of the main reasons why voters get disappointed with their MP’s was because they don’t speak the truth and that they make fake campaign promises which they themselves know they cannot achieve and when they are voted for they find themselves wanting.

Akweley said her experience through the political terrain saw some major victory for the NDC including the Odododiodoo seat which was won by Hon. Nii Lantey Vanderpuje and Hon. Fritz Baffour in Ablekuma South.

The aspiring parliamentary candidate said her campaign message would not be based on lies and malice but rather she would campaign based on truth and what roles an MP is expected to do, she intends to also use her office as an MP when elected to lobby and create opportunity for the youth in the constituency to improve education and job opportunities.

”One thing that you do as a politician is to capitalize on the weakness of your opponent to win elections” and because Hon. Ursula Owusu has lost touch with the people she intends to capitalize on that to unseat her.
