Kufuor’s son Edward Agyekum; 5 others to be vetted by NPP for Ayawaso West Wuogon primaries

Edward Agyekum Kufuor Edward Agyekum Kufuor is the second son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor Edward Agyekum Kufuor, the second son of former President John Agyekum Kufuor, will today Monday December 24, 2018, be vetted alongside five others seeking to contest in the primaries of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency. The primaries have become necessary to elect a replacement for the late MP of the area, Emmanuel Kyeremanten Agyarko, who died on November 21. Rev. Edward Agyekum Kufuor, a businessman and an actor, is not a name many expected since he’s little known in politics beyond the fact that he’s the son of a former President. Some seven persons including a Deputy National Communications Director of the NPP, Mame Yaa Aboagye reportedly picked forms to contest the race, but only six are said to have filed their nomination forms. Yaa Aboagye, who has lived and worked in the constituency for 19 years, considers herself a worthy replacement for the late MP. Others are Madam Victoria Esinam Ansah Offei, Assembly Member for Legon Electoral Area, Samuel Amankwah, a former constituency youth organizer of the constituency, and Ato Williams. Lydia Agyarko Alhassan, one of the two wives of the late MP, is also expected to be vetted following reports that a form was picked on her behalf. While filing his nomination with a fee of Ghc10,000 at the constituency’s office at Dzorwulu on Sunday, Mr. Edward Agyekum Kufuor said he has what it takes to transform the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency and retain the seat for the NPP should he be given the mandate by delegates.

Sounding very serious, Prophet Solomon warned that, besides deaths among many pastors in 2019, a very prominent pastor (name withheld),who is widely known and respected in Ghana and beyond, might lose his life if men of God do not rise up in prayer for themselves and Ghana as a whole. “His (the prominent Man of God) death would shock and sadden the entire nation, especially the Christendom, considering his fame.”.
