Naana Jane Helped the NDC; I’ll Support Her In 2024 – Okudzeto Ablakwa
Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has reacted to the comments of Dr. Obed Asamoah to the effect that Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, did not add much to the NDC ticket in the 2020 general elections.
The North Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, stated that even though he respects the views of Dr. Obed Asamoah, he disagrees with him.
Mr. Ablakwa argued that as far as he’s concerned, Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, improved the NDC’s numbers significantly across the entire country.
In his assessment, based on the data from the 2020 general elections, Professor Naana ‘did a lot to the ticket’.
“If you look for example at the Parliamentary elections, you’ll observe that, the NDC came up from a deficit of having only 4 seats at the 2016 elections. We won only four seats with a 17.4% share, of the votes.
After Professor Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang’s announcement, nomination, inclusion and her hard work, we moved from 4 to 13 seats with a greater share of the parliamentary votes of 56.52%. This is Electoral Commission’s data”, Okudzeto Ablakwa said as part of his argument.
He therefore vouched to throw his weight behind the Professor, if she becomes the NDC’s running mate in the 2024 general election.
