Popular National Democratic Congress (NDC) rising star Prince Kassim Alubankudi filed to contest the Akatsi South constituency primaries of the Volta region.

In what has been described as a wind of change blowing through the constituency, Kassim was the only one who filed Thursday to unseat the incumbent Benard Ahiafor who is said to have lost favour with the electorate. The Akatsi South constituency used to be held by the Speaker of the Ghanaian Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Edward Doe Adjaho.

Just when Ahiafor\u2019s supporters thought the MP was going unopposed, Kassim filed his nominations close to the deadline to send shivers down the spines of the incumbent and his supporters.

The entire constituency was virtually brought to a standstil as a teeming crowd accompanied the energetic 30-year-old candidate to file in the constituency from where the third most powerful man of the land hails.

The incumbent MP Ahiafor who took over from Mr. Adjaho when the seat became vacant upon his appointment as the Speaker of Parliament made a lonely walk to announce his nomination at the constituency office in Akatsi.
