Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the running mate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on cocoa farmers to remain vigilant and not to be misled by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding cocoa pricing.
He emphasized that the NPP administration prioritizes the welfare of cocoa farmers above all other political parties.
During a campaign rally in Nobekaw, situated in the Asunafo South Constituency, Dr. Opoku Prempeh underscored the contributions of the current Member of Parliament, Eric Opoku, in advocating for agricultural and cocoa-related matters on behalf of the NDC.
The NPP has increased cocoa prices from over 400 cedis to over 2,000 cedis in the last seven years, and very soon, cocoa prices will go up again to bring more value to farmers.
He further cautioned the people to be wary of the NDC’s tactics.
The NDC has not dealt well with cocoa farmers during the years they were in government. Be careful of their deception on cocoa issues.
The Ahafo Regional Minister, George Yaw Boakye, also spoke to the audience, urging them to rally behind Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, whom he described as possessing the necessary experience to address various challenges confronting the nation. He underscored this point.
Let Dr. Bawumia use his experience to solve the challenges we face. Reject any attempt to paint the NPP Parliamentary Candidate as an outsider.
Frank Aduse Poku, the parliamentary candidate for the NPP and the District Chief Executive (DCE) of the region, expressed his dedication to the community.
I have worked hard enough as DCE to earn your trust. If you send me to Parliament, I will do even more to bring development to our community.
