I'm unfazed by Ezenator's parliamentary ambition - Ashitey

Nii Armah added “Winning the seat is about what you’ve done for the people in the constituency to accept you, and not who your father is.”

The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Klottey Korley Constituency Nii Armah Ashitey, has stressed that the daughter of former President Jerry John Rawlings, Dr. Ezenator Agyemang Rawlings cannot snatch the MP seat from him.

He opined that “Politics is a game, if you know how to play it, you’ll win. I’ve a charge to keep – I’m grooming people who’ll take over from me when the time is up. So you don’t allow people who are not part of us in the constituency to come from afar to contest those who suffered, and are capable to retain the seat for NDC unlike those who would lose it,” he emphasized.

He added that Dr. Ezenator Agyemang Rawlings only came to support flood victims in the area, and the next day it was all over that she wanted to contest him, he told the Republic newspaper.

The MP, who is preparing for his third (3) term, is likely to face fierce competition in the NDC primaries, as Dr. Ezenator Rawlings is lacing her boot to represent the people of Klottey Korley in the next parliament.

According to Nii Armah, his performance records are there for all in the Constituency to see and based upon his performance, which he describes as dazzling, he expressed confidence of victory at the primaries come November 7.

The two-time former minister, having served as Greater Accra Regional Minister and Employment and Labour Relations Minister told this reporter that his position as minister did not allow him enough time to do his parliamentary work, yet, he has done a lot for the constituency.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ezenator Rawlings said one of her objectives for contesting in the upcoming parliamentary primaries of the NDC is to help the party get back to some of its "old values".

“I am not trying to invent the wheel. I am just helping us to remember some of the old values that we have; such as working together and not creating a gap between the constituents and leadership,” she told journalists when she filed her nomination at the party's regional head office in Accra Wednesday.
