Participate fully in coming Gomoa bye-election -Edumadze

The Central Regional Minister, Mr Isaac Edumadze has called on the electorate in the Gomoa East constituency to show interest in the forthcoming bye-election and vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said the late Member of Parliament for the area, Mr Emmanuel Acheampong, was hard working and was among the best MPs the region had produced.

Mr Edumadze made the call when he interacted with fishermen and fishmongers at Gomoa Nyanyano, Fetteh and Senya at separate meetings.

The bye-election in the Gomoa East constituency has become necessary following the death of the MP in a motor accident on the Winneba-Swedru road.

He said "it does not make sense for you to vote for an opposition candidate, who cannot work with the government."

Mr Edumadze said people should not let the present economic difficulties discourage them from voting for the party ''because you will soon enjoy from the hard measures the Government is adopting.''

Nana Elsirifie Ababio IV, Chief Fisherman, pledged their support for the government and asked that their needs be addressed to enable them to vote for the party.
