I need Majority in Parliament to complete my work – Akufo-Addo urges voters in Ejisu to vote for NPP candidate

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged the people of Ejisu in the Ashanti Region to vote for the parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Kwabena Boateng.

President Akufo-Addo says a victory for the NPP candidate will ensure that they have the Majority in Parliament to be able to smoothly run the affairs of government.

He raised concerns about the hung parliament and its impact on his administration.

Addressing a gathering in Ejisu as part of campaign activities on Sunday, April 28, he said

“We require a parliamentary majority. You’ve witnessed the challenges we face due to our current numbers in Parliament. Today this, tomorrow that due to the equal numbers. Therefore, even if it’s just by one vote, we must secure a majority to fulfil our mandate. And that decisive vote rests with Kwabena Boateng.

“Vote for Kwabena Boateng to come and help me complete my work,” he urged.

The Ejisu byelection will be taking place on Tuesday.

The by-election followed the death of the lawmaker of the area John Kumah.
