Challenging the party delegates and members to work tirelessly to increase the margin of votes the NPP MP used to beat his closest contender, the Regional Research officer, Mr Mbroh said the affable nature of Alex, as the MP is popularly called, and his laudable achievements should lead to this record being beaten.
“We expect a record in Effutu. We are not surprised that Honourable Afenyo-Markin is the official candidate for the NPP. We are looking for a record from Effutu here because we know you can do it. All that we are pleading with you is to beat the 10,000 votes margin Hon. Markin had in 2016. This year, double it and the 8501 votes between the President and his opponent should also be doubled and some added to same, because we at the regional level, we can attest to the fact that Effutu has become a stronghold of the NPP. We shall do all we can to help achieve this’ the Research Officer intimated.
