Mr. Isaac Ashai Odamtten, the immediate past Metropolitan Chief Executive for Tema, has his eyes on the Tema East Parliamentary seat and is lacing his boots to contest for the 2020 Parliamentary ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
A group of NDC pundits who made this revelation at a News conference in Accra, are hailing the coming of Mr Odamtten, a respected indigene of Tema, whose candidature would finally create an opportunity for the NDC to present “a son of the soil” to the voters of Tema.
“All around the country, the wind of change is blowing because the NPP government has failed miserably. In our little corner here in Tema, the wind is in the form of calls on Mr Odamtten to rescue Tema from the NPP and it is with pleasure that I announce to you, that Mr Odamtten will surely stand up for the NDC in the coming election,” Gilbert Ibrahim, a leading member of the NDC in Tema announced.
Mr Ibrahim, who is an aide to Mr Odamtten said the former Mayor, who is currently domiciled in the USA would soon return to the country and formally make a stake.
The development he said had put the re-election prospect of three-time unsuccessful NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Tema East, Kempes Ofosuware, in danger.
In the past decade, the Tema East NDC Parliamentary ticket was dominated by Kempes, who never managed to unseat the NPP’s Titus Glover.
