Gifty Ndoma declares intention to contest NPP parliamentary primaries in Ejura

Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for Ejura Sekyeredumase, Gifty Ndoma, has declared her intention to contest the party's parliamentary primaries to secure the mandate to represent the NPP in the next general elections.

Ndoma, who represented the party in the 2024 general elections, is seeking a second opportunity to lead the NPP's parliamentary campaign in the constituency after losing to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate, Ibrahim Bawa Braimah.

In the 2024 elections, she polled 24,000 votes, representing 47.12 per cent of the total valid votes cast, against Mr Braimah's 27,776 votes, representing 52.88 per cent.

The results left her 3,776 votes behind the incumbent MP, who retained the seat for the NDC.

Her decision to contest the upcoming NPP parliamentary primaries is aimed at securing the party's endorsement to challenge the NDC and lead its efforts to reclaim the Ejura parliamentary seat in the next general election.

The Ejura Sekyeredumase constituency, is considered one of the constituencies where the NDC has maintained a strong parliamentary presence, making the seat an important target for the NPP as it seeks to strengthen its representation in the Ashanti Region.

Gifty Ndoma's renewed interest in the contest comes against the backdrop of her previous involvement in the party's political and administrative activities in the constituency.

She has previously served two terms as the NPP Constituency Secretary, giving her experience in the party's grassroots and organizational structures.

She currently serves as a member of the NPP's Gender and Social Protection Sector Policy Committee, where she contributes to the party's policy-related activities.

Her intention to contest the primaries sets the stage for another internal party contest in Ejura, as aspirants seek the opportunity to secure the NPP's parliamentary ticket.

Should she emerge victorious in the primaries, Gifty Ndoma will once again have the opportunity to represent the party in the constituency and challenge the NDC for the parliamentary seat in the next general elections.
