A Deputy Chief of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has said position, with its heavy responsibilities, has enhanced his capacity and prepared him adequately to serve the people of Bantama, both as a legislator and as an agent of development.
He is hoping to discharge his duties diligently if and when given the nod in the 25th April 2020 Primaries by the New Patriotic Party.
Francis Asenso-Boakye said this when he filed his nomination form to contest the NPP Parliamentary primary for Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region.
Honourable Daniel Okyem Aboagye is a Ghanaian politician and member of the Seventh Parliament of the Fourth Republic of Ghana representing the Bantama Constituency in the Ashanti Region currently and he is seeking for the second term, but Mr.Asenso is optimistic of winning the Primaries.
The Deputy Chief of staff who has filed to join the race for the third time said ” It is a privilege to have yet another opportunity to be part of this important undertaking. I submit myself to be considered by the dutiful delegates of the constituency. I do so with a humble heart and an unwavering conviction that there’s nothing more fulfilling than the honour to represent and serve your people. I’m hopeful that this time around, I would have sufficiently earned their trust and confidence to merit an endorsement.”
He said “I’m convinced that it was my dedication to duty and commitment to the party that endeared me to the then-presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to have me serve him as his political assistant.
In appointing me as deputy chief of staff, I believe His Excellency the President has affirmed me as a person of tact, good judgment, and discretion.”
According to Mr. Asenso Boakye, “Bantama has been very kind to me, right from birth. It has nurtured me into becoming a person of value by instilling in me, a sense of purpose and identity. When my good fortune I got a Rotary scholarship to study in America, I took with me the virtues of kindness, compassion and communal spirit that permeate life in Bantama. I know of no other home than Bantama.
As a young boy, I immersed myself in the work of the party, firstly as a footsoldier in the constituency, then as a student activist and later the founding President of the Tertiary Institutions Confederacy of the NPP (TESCON). Together with colleagues like John Krugu, Sefa Dwamena, and Steve Amoah, we led a massive drive to mobilize over 2000 tertiary students in the Ashanti region who served as polling agents in the three Northern regions during the 2000 elections. A feat unparalleled in the history of student mobilization. I’m proud to see how TESCON has become; a vibrant and dynamic students arm of our party. Aside from TESCON, I also had the honour to serve as a youth organizer for the then North America branch of the party.”
