Other aspirants
Two other contestants are in the Lambussie contest with the medical practitioner.
They are Emmanuel Kwaban Panyan, a retired research scientist and consultant veterinarian and Edward Kaale-Ewola Dery.
The Lambussie parliamentary seat is currently being occupied by the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Dr Bright Bakye Yelviel Baligi who won the seat in 2020.
Decision
Dr Beyuo, who is a Consultant Obstetrician Gynaecologist and Epidemiologist, and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana Medical School submitted his nomination form last Tuesday.
“I seek the mandate of our party through our elected representatives (delegates) to lead the party in the 2024 Parliamentary Election to wrestle the parliamentary seat from the New Patriotic Party and contribute to the developmental agenda of the next NDC government for the people of Ghana and Lambussie,” he said.
Social democracy
The medical practitioner said he was convinced that the social democratic governance of the NDC held the key to the alleviation of extreme poverty, provision of health care to all, restoration of the economy and above all ensuring fairness and equity in the distribution of the national cake.
