Seasoned journalist, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako has ticked the Chairman of the Finance Committee of Parliament, Dr Mark Assibey-Yeboah to be the New Juaben South Parliamentary candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Kweku Baako made his endorsement during a panel discussion on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' on Wednesday, June 10, 2020.
The NPP has announced names of eligible candidates cleared to contest the party's Presidential and Parliamentary Primaries.
The party has slated the Primaries for Saturday, June 10, 2020.
With the Presidential primary, the sitting President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will go unopposed.
On the Parliamentary side, one of the constituencies said to have a tight competition is the New Juaben South which is to see Dr. Assibey-Yeboah challenged by the Executive Secretary of the Ghana Free Zones Board, Mr Michael Okyere Baafi.
Prior to the Primaries, Mr. Baako has appealed to the NPP delegates to retain Dr. Assibey-Yeboah in Parliament.
"I think that Parliament deserves and requires his presence, continued presence," he stated.
He however recognized the Ghana Free Zones Executive Secretary as "a very intelligent young man . . . knowledgeable, experienced . . . I don't know him personally but his track record shows," but believed Dr. Assibey-Yeboah is the best Parliamentary candidate for the NPP.
" . . still I'm for Mark. I am a student of Parliamentary practice and history and I've taken my time to study his role in this Parliament, the fourth Republican Parliamentary history, and I think NPP still requires and deserves his presence in how Parliament will go forward," he said.

Baafi is rushing ohh
Assibey might be talking in parliament but he is soo incompetent and clueless about New Juaben South. I have known Baafi for a while and I can tell you he the guy New Juaben South needs to help develop the municipality. He has clear vision, hardworking and ambitious person who wants nothing but job creation, properly developed communities and New Juaben South that Aspire to be the best city to leave in Ghana. Assibey just arrogant and ***barred word*** about how to help bring proper change. So kwaku, if you dont know the Baafi, and the aspiration of the people to compare both candidates, how do can you endorse Assibey? Don't we have new parliamentarians in parliament, do we even have students? Baafi if very educated and can do better job in parliament than what you perceive Assibey is doing. 80% of kdua population don't want Assibey, because he has not used his MP position to bring any development in New Juaben South. Keep your opinion to yourself and let the delegates decide.
Its good Kwaku Baako doesn't vote for new juaben south. We have decoded that BAAFI is better than the high class Assibey yeboah. New juaben south is liberated.
