Vincent Ekow Assafuah, MP for Old Tafo, has said while he is thrilled to continue serving his constituency following his victory in the 2024 parliamentary elections, his joy is overshadowed by the broader challenges faced by his party, the (NPP), which saw several key members lose their parliamentary seats.
As Ghana's 9th Parliament reconvenes on January 8, 2025, Assafuah's insights touch on the importance of maintaining a consistent leadership base to drive lasting change.
In an interview on Asaase Radio, Assafuah's mentioned that, triumph is tempered by the stark reality that the NPP is entering the new Parliament with a diminished presence. "It's a bittersweet moment," "While I am honoured to continue representing Old-Tafo, I cannot ignore the significant losses our party faced in this election.
It's a hard pill to swallow when you realize that many of my colleagues won't be by my side in Parliament," he said.
