Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Kwesi Nyantakyi, former president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has expressed confidence in becoming the parliamentary candidate-elect for the Ejisu constituency in the NPP internal elections tomorrow, Saturday, April 13.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former GFA boss noted that he has visited all the electoral areas in the constituency, indicating that the majority of delegates are ready to elect him.<\/p>\n

Delegates in the constituency go to the polls to elect a parliamentary candidate to represent the party ahead of the April 30 by-election and, ultimately, the December 7 poll.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gone around, I\u2019ve been to all the 28 electoral areas and visited more than 98 percent of the delegates, and the impression I get is that the majority of the delegates are ready to elect me as their next parliamentary candidate,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nyantakyi believes that the delegates in the constituency have received his message, touting himself as having the interests of the constituency at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy message is one of the best,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI\u2019ve addressed very important issues that affect delegates and the constituency and I believe that on account of that, delegates will vote for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Mr Nyantakyi affirmed that his chances in the April 13 elections are looking \u201cvery, very bright.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ejisu NPP parliamentary primary: All nine aspirants cleared to contest<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it were a general election, I didn\u2019t need to campaign because I think that my name alone, the name identity, prevails throughout everybody here, including the old and the young, men and women; everybody has heard about me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The Electoral Commission (EC) has set Tuesday, April 30, to hold the Ejisu constituency by-election.<\/p>\n

The Ejisu seat became vacant following the demise of the MP for the area and deputy finance minister, the late John Ampotuah Kumah, on March 7 after a brief illness.<\/p>\n

So far, all nine aspirants who picked and filed their nomination forms have been cleared to contest in Saturday\u2019s [April 13] elections.<\/p>\n
