Spokesperson to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, Dr. Gideon Boako has declared his candidacy for the New Patriotic Party’s Tano North seat.
Motivated by calls from delegates and opinion leaders, his decision is aimed at securing the seat to prevent it from falling into the hands of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Dr. Boako, in his announcement, criticized the current Member of Parliament, alleging a disconnect with constituents. He expressed his readiness to be the representative that Tano North needs.
In a press statement issued on Thursday, December 21, Dr Boako emphasised his dedicated service to the party both nationally and in the constituency.
“Dear friends, colleagues, and fellow patriots, with deep gratitude and a resolute spirit, I humbly address you today to formally announce my aspiration to serve the good people of Tano North Constituency in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
“This decision stems from my enduring commitment to our constituency, driven by your unwavering support and the greater welfare of our people and nation,” an excerpt of his statement said.

Dear friends, colleagues, and fellow patriots, with deep gratitude and a resolute spirit, I humbly address you today to formally announce my aspiration to serve the good people of Tano North Constituency in the forthcoming Parliamentary elections.
This decision stems from my enduring commitment to our constituency, driven by your unwavering support and the greater welfare of our people and nation.
Having dedicated years of service to the NPP, from my early days as a devoted high school student through tertiary education to serving as an active officer of the Party from Polling Station through to regional, and contributing to the government under the NPP's leadership, I am prepared to represent our constituency on our esteemed Party's ticket as a legislator. My aim is not to dismantle but to mend broken bonds, bridges, and forge stronger connections moving ahead.
This campaign isn’t solely about Gideon Boako; it's a collective endeavor. To advance our party's fortunes in the Tano North Constituency and our nation, unity is paramount.
Known for engaging with people, I am committed to selfless service guided by humility. *My candidacy heralds a new era and renewed vigor for the NPP in the Tano North Constituency. It marks a new beginning; a fresh start; and an important, promising turning point (The New Dawn).*
I am resolved to revive spirits and infuse our community with vitality, love, and resilience. Our goal is to unify and honor every individual, ensuring no one is left behind. This is a shared duty, and I am devoted to leading this cause.
I entreat you, dear friends, to not sit on your oars but gird your loins for this important and collective pursuit.
*Preserving the Tano North seat from slipping to the opposition NDC is our duty. Let us unite for this common good.*
Thank you sincerely for embracing this journey of possibilities. It is truly achievable.
The journey starts *tomorrow, Friday, December 22nd, as I go to submit my nomination forms. Join me at the Duayaw Nkwanta Methodist school park at 10 a.m., and let's do this together*.
God has done it already - Onyame ay3 awie!
