National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for Effiduase-Asokore constituency, Raymond Opoku Agyemang, says he believes his stature will be influential in winning votes in the Parliamentary elections, as some of the constituents admire him for his stature.
According to him, his huge frame and good looks has endeared him to many of the constituents who have assured him of their votes during the December 7 Parliamentary election.
“My believe that I will win the Effiduase seat has now being reinforced because when I started having real contact with the constituents or voters in Effiduase most of them were saying that their MP was their Goliath. But when I also look at my stature, I am more than that Goliath they are talking about. People are excited when they see me.
“Sometimes, some of the guys tell me if they were women, they would have married me. Others even go to the extent of saying that they are willing to give their daughters to me to have children with them so that they can have someone like me in their family. I am not boasting, that is the reality on the ground,” he said in an interview on Angel FM, Kumasi.
Asked if he believes his looks will stature will indeed secure him victory, he expressed optimism.
“There are so many dynamics in politics, when a dynamic or anything works in your favour, that is where you need to hit. So even during the primary, many NPP supporters campaigned for me and told NDC delegates that I am then one who can contest their MP.”
The Effiduase-Asokore parliamentary seat is currently occupied by Nana Ayew Afriye of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Political watchers say there’s no doubt that he will retain the seat come December 7 parliamentary election.
