Kofi Obeng-Mensah, the grandson of the late Prof.
Albert Adu Boahen, has picked nomination forms to contest the Abuakwa North
Constituency seat in the Eastern Region on the ticket of the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr. Obeng-Mensah, who doubles as a nephew of
the slain MP for the area, J.B. Danquah Adu, would be battling it out with
incumbent MP Gifty Twum-Ampofo, currently a Deputy Minister of Education in charge
of TVET, who is seeking re-election.
He filed his nomination over the weekend with
massive support from teeming NPP members and even donated a tricycle for party
works.
“I have
filed the nominations form which was picked on my behalf by my elders. Filing
it today is a confirmation of my readiness to lead the party in this
constituency and make them proud by winning this impending primary. I will make
my campaign message known to all after the vetting process,” he said after the
submission of the forms.
He added that he is from “a
purely political background” and has also held leadership positions ‒ and that gave him a lot of experience to work
with everybody, saying, “I’m a unifier, I grew up in the community, so they
know my capabilities.”
Mr. Obeng-Mensah is a pharmacist and the head
of the Enforcement & Intelligence Gathering Department of the Pharmacy Council.
He is also a pastor at the Spirit Reign Chapel,
Accra.
Mr. Obeng-Mensah is an old student of Pope
John’s Senior High School and an alumnus of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science
& Technology (KNUST).
