Mr Ransford Antwi, an independent candidate for the Sunyani East Constituency, has pledged to challenge the longstanding dominance of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the forthcoming general elections. The NPP has held this constituency since 1996; however, Mr Antwi said he remained undeterred by the ruling party's stronghold, citing their failure to meet the developmental needs of the local populace as the reason for his optimism. He indicated that lack of development of the area, had motivated several influential figures within the constituency and abroad to encourage his candidacy, aiming to provide the community with renewed hope and a commitment to progress. As a businessman and philanthropist based in Sunyani, Mr Antwi believed that his established reputation for honesty and integrity had garnered him significant support from the electorate. He expressed confidence in winning their support in December, bolstered by a recent survey from Infoanalytic, which identified him as the favoured candidate among constituents.
