Uncertainty is surrounding the decision of Dr Alex Ampaabeng, a former Deputy Minister of Finance and former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Juaboso, over whether he will contest in the party’s upcoming parliamentary primaries.
The NPP has opened nominations for interested party members seeking to contest for parliamentary seats across the constituencies. However, nominations are expected to close tomorrow, making the deadline crucial for aspirants who intend to participate.
In the Western North Region, several former NPP parliamentary candidates have indicated their readiness to contest in the upcoming primaries, including those in Akontombra, Sefwi Wiawso and Bia West constituencies.
In Juaboso, however, party supporters have been eagerly waiting to see whether Dr Alex Ampaabeng will pick up nomination forms to seek the party’s parliamentary candidacy once again.
Despite the growing anticipation, there has been no clear indication that he has picked up nomination forms as of today.
His recent Facebook posts have further fuelled speculation among party supporters. He has consistently used the phrase “Better Days Ahead” in his social media communications, leaving many wondering about his political intentions.
In his latest Facebook post at 1:26 p.m. today, Dr Ampaabeng wrote: “Not every chapter is understood as it unfolds. One day, it will all make sense.
#BetterDaysAhead.”
Although the post does not directly address his decision to contest, some supporters interpret it as a possible indication that he may not participate in the upcoming parliamentary primaries.
However, with the nomination deadline yet to expire, there is still an opportunity for him to make his intentions known.
Should Dr Ampaabeng decide not to contest, it could come as a disappointment to supporters who have been anticipating his return to the parliamentary race in the Juaboso Constituency.
For now, all eyes remain on the former parliamentary candidate as the nomination deadline approaches.
