“Nana Owusu Afriyie Prempeh Leads the Race to Succeed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh”
Manhyia South: Nana Owusu Afriyie Prempeh Emerges as Front-Runner To Succeed Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh
Nana Owusu Afriyie Prempeh has emerged as the front-runner for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate position for Manhyia South Constituency in the the Ashanti Region. As the current financial secretary and acting treasurer of the Manhyia South Constituency, Prempeh has received overwhelming support from delegates to succeed. Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh vacated the seated after getting the nod overwhelmingly from the party to partner Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the presidential running mate in the 2024 elections.
Delegates praise Prempeh as a unifying figure, experienced politician, and visionary leader who can help the party retain power. Some delegates, speaking anonymously, expressed frustration with electoral area Coordinators who are intimidating them.
They accuse the Coordinators of poor leadership, which has created divisions in the constituency. The delegates believe the party may perform poorly in the constituency if Prempeh is not selected.
Prempeh is seen as a hard-working and accessible leader who has spearheaded development projects, including the Astro Turf of Konadu Yiadom Park.
The youth in the constituency prefer Prempeh, who they see as a true party person, resourceful, bold, and a unifier among the candidates.
