(NDC) parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Akwatia by-election, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, has dismissed his opponent's adoption of the title 'Joshua of Akwatia', insisting that political slogans and biblical symbolism will not solve the constituency's challenges.
In an adomonline.com report on August 21, 2025, Baidoo said that the focus of the campaign should be on practical solutions such as job creation, development, and improved living standards rather than name-calling. "I am not someone who talks too much or believe in name-calling.
That is the nature of the NPP, but I am not that kind of person.
I am not Joshua; that is not important to me," he stated.
