The Member of Parliament-elect for Akwatia, Bernard Bediako Baidoo, has expressed gratitude to his constituents, attributing his victory to the confidence the people reposed in the National Democratic Congress’(NDC) message.
He also thanked God for the outcome, noting that the win was a result of hard work and dedication.
Speaking to journalists after the declaration of results on September 2, 2025, Bernard Bediako Baidoo said, “Ebenezer, this is how far the good Lord has brought us. The confidence has always been there. It is not just mere confidence out of nothing. It was borne out of the good job we have done. After engaging the people, we read their reactions towards the message we gave them.
The by-election was necessitated by the death of Akwatia’s Member of Parliament, Ernest Kumi, earlier this year. Campaigning in the lead-up to the poll was intense, with both the NDC and NPP heavily investing resources and manpower in the constituency.
