Michael Okyere Baafi, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, has issued a bold ultimatum ahead of the Akwatia by-election scheduled for September 2, 2025. He has vowed to resign from Parliament if the NPP fails to reclaim the seat. In an interview with GHOne TV during the one-week commemoration of the late Akwatia MP, Ernest Kumi, Mr. Baafi accused the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of failing to fulfill any of its campaign promises made during the 2024 elections.
He expressed confidence in the NPP’s ability to retain the seat, stating, “If the NPP loses this Akwatia by-election, I will resign as MP. Mark my words!” The by-election was triggered by the sudden passing of Ernest Kumi, who represented the constituency until his death. The contest is anticipated to be highly competitive, with the NDC fielding Bernard Bediako and the NPP presenting Solomon Kwame Asumadu. Both parties are optimistic about securing victory in the upcoming polls.
