Candidates who are directly in touch with the masses and also know which direction the party must go would deliver the electoral results on the day for unity, competence, loyalty, dedication, selflessness and electoral success of the constituency.
The desire of the northern people to break the jinx of poverty and deprivation will remain a particularly seductive illusion if the region continues to produce leaders who put their sectional interest above that of the collective.
Inusah Fuseini is a dedicated personality who cares about the life and welfare of people irrespective of their ethnic, political, social and religious background.
He is a candidate who has been truthful to the constituents and does not give gargantuan promises to voters that he knows he cannot fulfil.
