Dr Patrick Ekye Kwesie, a Convention People’s Party (CPP) Parliamentary Candidate hopeful for Jomoro Constituency in the Western Region, has pledged his commitment to putting in place strategic measures to ensure a holistic development of the area.
He said his primary focus would be to implement interventions and policies aimed at exploring all avenues to promote education and create sustainable jobs for the teeming youth in the constituency.
Aside from that he would also place infrastructural development at the centre of his policy initiatives to help bring socio-economic growth to the area.
He disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview in Takoradi after he announced his intentions to contest the Jomoro seat on the ticket of the CPP.
Dr Kwesie, an Industrial and Petroleum Management Expert, touched on the rich natural resources of the area and said plans were in place to take advantage of that to spearhead development.
He said it was time the people of Jomoro rejected the National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party candidates for fresh and different ideas from the CPP to solve the development challenges there.
“Over the years, the Jomoro constituency, like every other, had registered success stories as well as challenges and failings,” he said.
“With a legacy of commitment to service, I will endeavour to lead my team to do the best we can to overcome all challenges when I am given the opportunity to serve as a member of parliament for Jomoro.”
Dr Kwesie noted that in due course, he would present a comprehensive manifesto, mapping out the path he would thread towards achieving the positive change Jomoro deserved.
He, therefore, asked the CPP delegates to endorse his bid to become the parliamentary candidate for the area to win the seat for the party.
He called for unity among the rank and file of the party to forge a common goal and increase its chances of winning the seat.
“We must put the past behind us in order to avoid sliding back into the mistakes we encountered in the constituency over the past years.”
