Mr. Baafi, who is also the Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, was recently endorsed by the Electoral Commission as the unopposed parliamentary candidate for the constituency.
With the disqualification of his opponent, Madam Grace Safori, Mr. Baafi is set for his second bid to enter Parliament on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Highlighting his first-term achievements, he mentioned the construction of one of the biggest constituency offices to end the years of using rented facilities. He also cited the remarkable structural development in Koforidua, the Eastern Regional capital, including the asphalting of roads and improvements to health and educational infrastructure.
Mr. Baafi also highlighted his support for hundreds of young people through scholarships to build the human resource capacity base of the constituency, and outlined various developmental projects in the pipeline.
“There are many other developmental projects in the pipeline, and we cannot afford to change our voting pattern come December 2024, to ensure continuity and perfect execution of my agenda,” he said.
Mr Haruna Mohammed, the Deputy General Secretary of the NPP, urged party supporters and delegates to rally behind Mr. Baafi to ensure the NPP’s success in the upcoming elections.
Mr. Baafi is one of four regional incumbents who went to the primary unopposed, signaling strong party support for his candidacy.
