Edward Boateng on Tuesday led a high-powered New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegation to Akwatia to campaign for the party’s parliamentary candidate, Solomon Asumadu, in the upcoming by-election.
The former Ambassador to China was joined by NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, former Minister of Transport, Kwaku Ofori Asiamah, and former running mate and Minister of Energy, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, along with several other senior party officials and regional executives.
The visit began with a moment of reflection, as the delegation expressed heartfelt condolences to the family and loved ones of the late Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Ernest Kumi.
His untimely passing was described as a deep loss not only to the constituency but to the entire NPP family.
“Ernest Kumi served Akwatia with dedication and purpose,” said Amb. Boateng.
“It is now our responsibility to honor his legacy by continuing the work he started and ensuring that Akwatia does not lose momentum on its path to development.”
The team toured key parts of the constituency, including a walk through the Akwatia market, where they engaged traders and residents in a vibrant show of grassroots mobilisation.
The warm welcome was a clear signal of growing confidence in Solomon Asumadu and the NPP’s vision for the future.
The delegation also visited St. Dominic Hospital, where they interacted with healthcare workers and management.
The hospital team was commended for their service and commitment, with party leaders reaffirming the NPP’s pledge to invest in quality healthcare in Akwatia and across the country.
Addressing the people of Akwatia, Solomon Asumadu, a proud indigene of the constituency, emphasised his deep roots and personal understanding of the community’s needs:
“Akwatia is my home. I was born and raised here, and I have lived my entire life among the hardworking people of this constituency. I understand our challenges because I have lived them too.
“My commitment is to serve with honesty, humility, and results. Together, we will build a stronger Akwatia.”
Amb. Boateng described Asumadu as a fresh, capable, and compassionate leader who is ready to carry forward the torch lit by Ernest Kumi and drive even greater development.
With energy surging on the ground and recent polls showing the NPP with a clear lead in Akwatia, party leaders expressed confidence in a decisive win.
The day concluded with several community engagements that further energised the base and reinforced the party’s commitment to the people.
