The Member of Parliament for New Juaben South, Michael Okyere Baafi, has issued a bold pledge ahead of the upcoming Akwatia by-election on September 2, 2025, declaring that he will resign from Parliament if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) fails to reclaim the seat.
Speaking to GHOne TV during the one-week observance of the late Akwatia MP, Ernest Yaw Kumi, Mr. Baafi accused the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of failing to honour its 2024 campaign promises.
“If the NPP loses this Akwatia by-election, I will resign as MP. Mark my words!” he stated emphatically.
The by-election follows the sudden passing of Ernest Kumi, who had represented the Akwatia constituency until his death.
The race is expected to be fiercely contested, with the NPP fielding Solomon Kwame Asumaduagainst the NDC’s Bernard Bediako. Both parties have expressed strong confidence of victory as the polls draw closer.
