According to him, he is not disturbed if Baba Jamal or any other member of the party pops up in the round up to the primaries as his hard work will guarantee his success.
The Akwatia seat is one of the hot spot constituencies in the Eastern region as both the NDC and NPP see the constituency as a swing one.
