    I am proud of my achievements – Joe Ghartey

     The Member of Parliament (MP) for Es­sikado-Ketan Constituency, in the Western Region, Mr Joe Ghartey, has touted his contributions to the socio-economic welfare of the constituents in the last two decades.

    According to him, numerous developments brought to the constituency, under his tenure was a testament to his dedica­tion to duty.

    Mr Ghartey, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, mentioned the construction of Astro Tuffs, CHPS com­pounds, school blocks, roads as significant projects he brought to the area.

    He said: “I am proud of my achievements, and I know I have gained favour both in the sight of the people and God”.

    Mr Ghartey thanked the constituents for the opportuni­ty to serve in the last four years under the New Patriotic Party.

    Meanwhile, the NPP failed to retain the Essikado-Ketan seat in the December 7 parlia­mentary election, which was won by the NDC.

    Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah, a surgeon and NDC Member of Parliament-elect would now serve the constituency.

    She polled a total of 26,166 votes to beat Mr Charles Bis­sue, the NPP candidate, who had 17,754 in an election which saw 79, 344 voter turnout.

    The election in the constit­uency though largely peace­ful, saw pockets of agitation, destruction of ballot boxes, particularly at the collation centre, and assault on security personnel and journalists sta­tioned there.

    Dr Ayensu-Danquah prom­ised to bring development to the constituency to improve the living standards of the people.
