As you know, a week or so ago, I lost my Constituency Secretary who doubles as my campaign manager. So, this victory is what he actually fought for throughout, and so we wish to dedicate this victory to the memory of Kuri Suglo, who worked tirelessly for the success of this campaign,\u201d Dr Jasaw noted.<\/p>\n<p>The MP Elect acknowledged that, they had gotten the change they were looking for and requested from the people, assuring that he would help bring the change they promised the constituents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have gotten the change we are looking for, we have gotten the change we\u2019ve requested from the people, and so we are going to take over and help bring the change that we have promised the people,\u201d Dr Jasaw assured.<\/p>\n<p>The MP Elect, however, called for unity of purpose, noting that, the work as MP, requires all hands on deck and collective efforts.<\/p>\n<p>GNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ghana.
