The Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, Michael Okyere Baafi, has expressed strong confidence that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate will win the upcoming Akwatia by-election.
Speaking to journalists, Mr. Baafi said that although the election would be closely contested, he believed the NPP would emerge victorious.
According to him, the party had done the necessary groundwork and engaged extensively with the people in the constituency.
“We have prosecuted a campaign that has not happened in the history of this constituency before. We have engaged so well, and the people have given us assurance,” he said.
The MP explained that the NPP candidate enjoyed strong goodwill among the people because of his generosity and contributions to education and business.
He said the candidate had supported many with school fees and sponsored others in their education and businesses, which gave him an advantage over his competitors.
Mr. Baafi was so confident of victory that he declared he would resign as a Member of Parliament if the NPP lost the by-election.
“I am telling you, we will win this election. If we lose, I will resign as a member of parliament,” he stressed.
He further added that the party’s hard work, combined with faith in God, would deliver the expected victory.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
