Avoid outrageous campaign promises to prevent undue pressure from electorates – NPP Parliamentary Candidate Aspirant

Dr. Yao Yeboah, a former Parliamentary Candidate Aspirant for the New Patriotic Party in the Dormaa Central Constituency, has advised politicians to exercise prudence in their campaign promises to avoid undue pressure from constituents following electoral success.

During an interview on the GIFTs FM Morning Show, titled “Anopa Bosuo” hosted by Kwaku Mensah Abrampa, Dr. Yao Yeboah highlighted that individuals running for political office have visions and missions they wish to accomplish for the betterment of the populace, in alignment with their political party’s manifesto, therefore candidates should adhere to their party’s manifesto and adopt a more feasible and realistic approach to political campaigning by abstaining from making extravagant promises solely to gain political power.

He emphasized the necessity of avoiding excessive promises that could lead to significant pressure from the electorate after elections. By doing so, candidates can promote more honest communication with voters, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and accountable political environment, thereby maintaining integrity and building trust with the electorate.

Dr. Yao Yeboah, who has suffered from the dominance of Hon. Kwaku Agyemang Manu in his intention to lead the Dormaa Central New Patriotic Party (NPP) to Parliament for nearly 17 years now once again declared his intention to contest as Parliamentary Candidate whenever the party opens nominations, with the aim of leading the party to victory in the 2028 General Elections. Despite his past struggles to secure the opportunity to represent the party in Parliament for Dormaa Central, he remains optimistic about achieving victory this time, with the goal of facilitating the necessary development for the Dormaa Central Constituency.

Dr. Yeboah stated that he is the most well-recognized candidate, and he believes that if granted the mandate by delegates to lead the party in the Constituency, it would be straightforward for the NPP to market him effectively to secure victory in the general elections in 2028.

Regarding the current recruitment exercise for the security services, Dr. Yao Yeboah urged the authorities to employ the most effective and transparent methods to ensure the integrity of our security services. He emphasized the critical importance of a nation’s security and advocated for a recruitment process that transcends partisan politics, thereby ensuring the selection of the most qualified candidates to establish an efficient security system.
