"WILSON ARTHUR IS NOT A LOSER", ADJEI MENSAH SAIDS SO

WILSON ARTHUR
(Skyy Group of Company's)

The elected Member of Parliament (MP) on the ticket of the ruling NDC for the newly created Wassa East District in the Western Region, Isaac Adjei Mensah has challenged his close contender in the just ended general elections Wilson Arthur to come on board with him to deliver to the people of Wassa East if he really have the concerns of the people at heart.

According to the MP elect Mr. Adjei Mensah, he was not worried at all about the caliber of his competitor Wilson Arthur from the camp of the NPP because he knew NDC is well granted in the Wassa East constituency. “My worry was the gap, I wanted to make sure it was a big win and that is why his control on the media or his advantage on the media platform was a bit of a worry but not necessary that he is going to take the seat”.

Mr. Isaac Adjei Mensah however throws a challenge to Mr. Wilson Arthur who is also the CEO for Skyy Group of Companies to come on board with him to deliver to the people of the Wassa East Constituency if he really has the people’s plight at heart.

He added that, Wilson Arthur has not lost but he only competed a race and someone won and “I request that he comes on board and indeed demonstrate his commitment to the development of Wassa as he proclaims to be”. But according to Isaac Adjei Mensah, he has not seen any concerted effort from Wilson Arthur to demonstrate his effect of help developing the Wassa East District.

Out of 33,657 valid vote cast, Isaac Adjei Mensah who contested the seat on the ticket of the NDC pulled 19,242 whiles Wilson Arthur who also contested the seat on the ticket of the NPP pulling 13,996 vote and Moses Twumasi-Ankrah from the camp of PPP managed to pull 419 vote making Isaac Adjei Mensah the winner of the newly created Wassa East constituency seat for the ruling NDC from 2013-2016.   

Meanwhile Wilson Arthur has remained silent over the issue as he says “no comment on this subject matter for now”.

Samia Yaba Christina Nkrumah



The only parliamentary seats held by the daughter of Ghana's first President Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Samia Yaba Christina Nkrumah for her fathers party the Convention People's Party (CPP) was on Friday 7th December 2012 lost by difference of 3,541 vote to the ruling NDC in a keen contest between Francis Kabenleh Anaman of the NDC, Joseph Ewoniah of the NPP, Margaret Blay-Kenyah of the PPP and the incumbent member of parliament Samia Yaba Christina Nkrumah of the CPP who as well doubles as the National Chairperson of the same party.

Samia Yaba Christiana Nkrumah was obviously the absolute choice of her fathers people when she contested the Jomoro parliamentary seat in the 2008 general elections on the ticket of her father's party, CPP.

She own the contest with 19,916 vote whiles NDC's Lee Ocran placed second with 13,345 vote. Martin Nyame Ackah of the NPP was third with 6,345 vote and Jemaima Soboe of the PNC placed fourth pulling 220 vote.

Many still wonder how she suddenly lost her popularity among her own people to cause her misfortunes in the just ended general elections. But at the end of last Friday's parliamentary contest in the Jomoro constituency, the NDC candidate pulled 21,651 vote, whiles the NPP candidate pulled 9,630 vote.

The PPP candidate pulled 1,894 vote and the incumbent Member of Parliament on the ticket of CPP also pulled 18,110 vote making the NDC's aspiring candidate Francis Kabenleh Anaman the elected member of parliament for the Jomoro constituency and his mandate spans from 2013 to 2016.

All efforts by our correspondent to speak to Samia Yaba Christina Nkrumah about the way forward for her proved futal but for the mean time, Samia Yaba Christian Nkrumah will have to continue with her chairpersons role in her fathers party.

Ex-President John Kufuor

Former President, John Agyekum Kufuor has called on all Presidential aspirants contesting the December 7th general elections to accept the choice of the electorates.

He said, anybody wanting to lead us must submit to our choice.

The Former President was  addressing the gathering at the signing of a peace pact in Kumasi on Tuesday, ex-President Kufuor opined that this is necessary to safeguard the peace of the country because in the past people have done all sorts of things to secure power. "Some will kill, some will lie, some would do anything to get the power... but power belongs to the people.”

Calling on all stakeholders to be alert, he said, they must ensure that whoever is chosen as President will command the respect from every citizen in the country, “this is where peace will be secured for all of us.”

Adding that if substantial number of the people will begin to feel that they have been cheated one way or the other, I assure you the grumbling might degenerate into untold difficulties for the entire nation".
