The National Democratic Congress\u2019 (NDC) \u00a0parliamentary aspirant\u00a0for the Oforikrom Constituency is optimistic that, electorates in his constituency will give him the nod come December 7.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the fact that the constituency is a stronghold of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jonny Osei Kofi says the NDC, can easily sway electorates to vote for him and the ruling party in the General elections.<\/p>\n

The aspirant who doubles as a Deputy Chief of Staff speaking to the media in Kumasi explained that, \u201cwithin the coming weeks, when we talk to the communities, as we embark on a massive house to house and we explain what we want to do, or what we want to lead in achieving for the whole community, there are a lot that may change their mind, there are a lot of NPP faithfuls that may change their mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, his ambitions for the constituency are important, adding that, \u201cI do not think that I am a candidate that everybody will want to ignore\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI accept we have a very steep hill to climb, 30,000 degrees meaning 30,000 difference in voter preference, as between the NPP and the NDC, but 30,000 is just a number, even Everest has been climbed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oforikrom constituency, a suburb in the Kumasi Metropolis is a highly dominated region of the NPP. Since 2008, electorates have voted massively for both their presidential and parliamentary candidates.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Agyeman, a big wig in the party, lost her bid to keep the seat to a new entrant, Emmanuel Marfo, during their recent parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n
