Presidential candidate hopeful for the New Patriotic Party and former Agric Minister, Dr. Owusu Afriyie Akoto has defied the heavy rains to campaign for the NPP parliamentary candidate in Assin North, Charles Opoku.
His move forms part of the campaign strategies by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to win the Assin North by-election. Dr. Afriyie Akoto visited Assin Bereku (district capital), Assin Praso, Assin Asempaneye, Akenkanse, Akonfudi, Dansami, Assen Mempasem, Assin Kushia, Assin Senkyem, Assin Brofoyedu, Assin Juaso, Assin Breman, and Bediadua.
