Gizela Tetteh-Agbotui confident NDC will retain Awutu Senya West parliamentary seat

The Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya West, Gizela Tetteh-Agbotui, says she is confident the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will retain the constituency in the next general election, despite the election of an NPP regional chairman from the area. Dr Kwabena Essibu, who hails from Senya Breku in the constituency, was recently elected Central Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). During the NDC constituency executive elections, Ms Tetteh-Agbotui dismissed concerns that Dr Essibu’s election could improve the NPP’s chances of winning the parliamentary seat. She said the NDC would continue working to protect the seat, which she described as an important electoral hold for the party. Ms Tetteh-Agbotui disclosed that she had personally congratulated Dr Essibu on his election but told him she was determined to retain the constituency for the NDC.
