Gbediame grateful to delegates

Story: Emmanuel Adu-Gyamerah

THE Member of Parliament for Nkwanta South in the Volta Region, Mr Geshon Gbediame, has expressed his profound gratitude to the rank and file of the National Democratic Congress in his constituency for giving him the nod to contest for the seat in the December general elections.
Mr Gbediame parried off the stiff challenge posed by four other contestants to win another primary to enable him contest the seat for the fifth time.
He won the contest with 182 votes while his closest opponent, Mr Stephen Oboisah, had 101 votes during the primary.
Mr Gbediame assured his constituents that he would not disappoint them, explaining that he was going to work hard in order to retain the seat.
The MP, who is also the Majority Chief Whip, also appealed to NDC supporters in the constituency to continue to support the course of the party in order for it to win the December general elections.
He said that the Eastern Corridor Road Project was on course while as many as 15 new communities in the area would be hooked to the national grid this year.
In addition, Mr Gbediame stated that inaccessible communities in the area would also enjoy solar power.
He also thanked the four other contestants for giving him a stiff challenge and appealed to them to join hands with him to fight the NPP.
