Businessman, Communicator and Politician, Mr. Edward Kwasi Akuoko has announced his intention to contest the Obuasi West NPP Chairmanship position.

The CEO of Muffin Group of Companies made the declaration at a press conference at the Len Clay Stadium at Obuasi at the weekend.

“I am a long serving member of NPP in the Obuasi West Constituency, a very humble personality and see myself as favourite for the position,” he said. Mr. Akuoko pointed out that the party in Obuasi is suffering because some people feel they were treated unfairly and pledged to promote justice and unity if he is elected as Chairman.

As part of efforts to address divisions within the party, he announced plans to institute reconciliation committee to address rifts and foster unity among members.

Mr. Akuoko also talked about his wide network and ability to lobby for opportunities that will to a large extent benefit the party adding, “sometimes you need connections to be able to support your constituents.”

The Aspiring Chairman who described himself as articulate, calm under pressure and mobilizer promised to use these attributes to mobilize the entire NPP members in the Obuasi West Constituency to rally behind the Flagbearer to wrestle political power from the ruling government in the 2028 general elections.

The Aspiring Chairman holds a degree in Business Administration from the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), a second degree in Peace, Security and Intelligence Management and Diploma in Marketing from London School of Commerce and Industry.
