A former Local Government Minister in the erstwhile Kufuor
administration, Captain Nkrabea Effah Dartey (Rtd) is lacing his boots
to contest the Berekum West parliamentary primaries of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP).
The man who gained popularity for his 'matwen awurade enim'
signature-tune during the party's flagbearership elections in 2007
told Nhyira FM's Kwasi Boafo he is under pressure from several party
faithful in the constituency to contest.
Captain Effah Dartey (Rtd) was the former MP for Berekum but lost to
Kwaku Agyeman Boateng. He also contested the NPP General Secretary
position on two occasions but failed and since then has been silent in
politics.
But the former Member of Parliament for Berekum said he began
considering his chances after a cross-section of the party executives
in Brong Ahafo region convinced him to contest.
"Any time I go for a funeral or any other function they tell me
Nkrabea if you don't come the NPP will lose the seat and I don't want
to let them down that is why I want to contest" he added.
Captain Effah Dartey is optimistic he will win the upcoming
parliamentary primaries and give the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC) candidate a run for his money in the 2016 general
elections.
