The Member of Parliament for the North Tongu constituency, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has announced that he will seek re-election in the 2020 general elections.

According to the lawmaker, a group of senior citizens in North Tongu on Wednesday, 10 July 2019 volunteered to pick nomination forms for him insisting that he steps forward for a third term bid as MP for the constituency.

“I am deeply touched by the kind gesture from our wise elders and what is clearly a show of confidence in what we have collectively achieved these past few years. I hereby confirm that I shall heed the overwhelming calls to seek re-election,” Mr Ablakwa said in a Facebook post.

Mr Ablakwa assured the people of North Tongu of his “continuous dedication to duty and devotion to our general welfare.”
