Appoh Calls for Calm in Gomoa Central | Politics

Honourable Rachel Appoh, the former Minister for Gender Children And Social Protection wants cool heads to prevail in the Gomoa Central Constituency.
 
This follows the election of one Kwame Yawson Deen as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for the Constituency last week by the delegates in the parliamentary primaries.
 
The electorates are incensed over the elections stressing that Yawson Deen had
subjected the former Member of Parliament for the area, Rachel Appoh to public ridicule.
 
He further claimed that the former deputy Gender Minister failed woefully as an MP and he has come to make things right.
 
The angry NDC supporters are convinced Mr. Deen used foul means to win the parliamentary primaries.
 
He polled 443 votes, followed by Madison Adanusa who got 326 and Arthur Duncan got 242 of the total votes cast.
 
The NDC supporters who hold Ms. Appoh in high esteem claimed Kwame Deen insulted her just to win the primaries.
 
However, the electorates have threatened to vote against him in the 2024 general elections.
 
But Ms Appoh in a post on Facebook called for calm.
 
According to her, their focus should be on winning the seat back from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to help former President John Mahama win the elections.
 
“I understand your agitation in the constituency as it stands now but I will urge all of you to calm down because I can’t watch me fail… Yes he disrespected me big time however, I have forgiven him because NDC first” Ms. Appoh said.
 
She however warned those who want to dent her reputation to stop since her supporters numbering over 5, 000 will match them boot-for boot.
 
Rachel Appoh pledged her commitment to help in the campaign for NDC to win the Gomoa Central seat from NPP.
 
“Remember my name is Rachel Appoh. NDC first; I can’t wait to be part of capturing our seat from NPP come 2024” she added.
