Mr Dakwa last Monday [January 27, 2020] picked nomination forms and indicated the time has come for the constituency to have a new breeze of leadership that would inject some hope into the youth.
Sammy Binfoh as he is popularly known said as a former students leader, he has a wealth of leadership skills at his disposal to use to champion the cause of the youth in the constituency.
He said for a native of Adansi Hwiremoase to rise to become the National NUGS president, should be inspiring enough to encourage the youth that they could achieve anything they want irrespective of where they come from.

The incumbent, Mr Hammond who is seeking re-election for the sixth time as the MP for the constituency has also picked his nomination forms.
