Your most authoritative GHANA NEWS POINT can confirm that Mr. Bright Osei Puni, popularly known in political circles as Oyeomo, is set to launch his bid to contest the chairmanship position of Ablekuma West NPP.

Henry Nana Boakye, an aspirant to the position of the National Youth Organizer of the NPP,  has called on all groups and supporters to run a clean campaign that is devoid of insults and slander.

Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say What was this forest savage, rough, and stern, Which in the very thought renews the fear.
