An aspiring assemblywoman of Asafo Electoral Area, Ms Amanda Oppong, has interacted with members of the Asafo Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission as part of her door-to-door campaign.
The door-to-door campaign is intended to whip up massive support for her campaign from the electorate at the Asafo Electoral Area. Ms Oppong has been using every opportunity she gets to interact with the youth, opinion leaders and religious bodies to solicit their support to enable her become the first woman to be elected to represent the community at the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
The visit to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission was the second since Ms Oppong declared her intention to contest the district level elections.
During the Ramadan, she visited them and donated quantities of food items to the Ahmadis as a gesture to encourage and strengthen them to focus on the fasting.
During last Friday’s visit, she again donated some drinks, water and mats to formally introduce herself to them as one of the five candidates contesting the district level election in the community.
In a short address, she pleaded with the Ahmadis to pray for God’s guidance, good heath, the spirit of perseverance and commitment to enable her overcome all obstacles that would come her way during her campaign.
This, she said, would enable her succeed in her effort to win the Asafo Electoral Area district elections for her to initiate policies and programmes that would impact positively on their lives.
She also asked them to pray for peace and unity of purpose to prevail in the country to enable the citizenry focus on their economic ventures to accelerate socio-economic development.
She pointed out that her visit marked the beginning of a steady relationship between them and assured them that it would further strengthen their relationship to their mutual benefit, when she won the elections.
A Member of the mission, Jamil Ibrahim Boadu, thanked the aspiring assemblywoman for her gesture and encouraged her to focus on the campaign irrespective of the hurdles that will come her way.
This, he said would enable her win the confidence of the electorate for them to offer her their mandate.
He also assured her of their continuous support and prayers to enable her focus on her campaign.
