The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the Akwatia by-election, Solomon Asumadu, has expressed confidence in securing victory, citing the peaceful atmosphere and orderly voting process as positive signs.
Speaking to MyNewsGh after touring several polling stations, Mr. Asumadu revealed that he arrived early to observe proceedings and was pleased with what he witnessed.
“I got to the polling stations around 7 a.m., and I am very satisfied with how things are going. The entire process has been peaceful, and our constituents are conducting themselves very well,” he said.
Mr. Asumadu commended the Inspector General of Police and the security agencies for their efforts in maintaining calm across the constituency.
“The police presence has been remarkable, and I must thank the IGP for ensuring that enough officers are on the ground to safeguard the process,” he stated.
While acknowledging the relatively low turnout compared to the 2024 general elections, the NPP candidate noted that the difference is expected given the nature of by-elections.
“This cannot be compared to 2024 in terms of numbers. But by-elections are different — many people are at work, so turnout is naturally lower,” he explained.
On his symbolic choice of attire, Mr. Asumadu disclosed that his decision to wear a white kaftan was deeply personal and rooted in faith.
“For me, white symbolises victory. I had a dream where God assured me of success, and I believe today will confirm that promise,” he said confidently.
