Newly elected Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East, NDC’s Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, says the “resetting” of the constituency begins immediately after his decisive by-election victory.

Baba Jamal secured 10,884 votes to defeat his closest contender, Yussif Ali Baba of the NPP, who polled 4,009 votes.

Moments after he was declared the winner, he framed the mandate as collective, stating, “This victory is not for me, Baba Jamal alone, it’s for the good people of East Ayawaso.”

He thanked constituents for their confidence.

“I want to thank all of them for having confidence in me and electing me as their parliamentary candidate-elect.”

“Let me state that I dedicate this victory to my 93-year-old mother, Mimi, for promising to support me and ensuring that one day I will go back to Parliament...Today, her vision and wish have come true.”

He also acknowledged his wife and children.

“I want to thank my wife here and my family, my children, for the spirit of endurance that they’ve gone through since I made this project my vision to go back to Parliament.”

Beyond family, he extended gratitude to the NDC hierarchy.

“I want to also give special thanks to the national executives of NDC, the chairman and the General Secretary.”

He also thanked the Greater Accra regional executives, the constituency executives of Ayawaso East and “my people from Akwatia who came in their numbers to support me for this project.”

He singled out President John Mahama for praise. “Let me also give a special thanks to President John Mahama. Once again, for finding me worthy to go and work in Nigeria.”

Baba Jamal said his months in Nigeria strengthened his experience, which he plans to use in Parliament to better serve Ghana.

Looking ahead, he promised his constituents that the“resetting of Ayawaso East starts now” and pledged to ensure the constituency gets what it deserves.

He thanked the media for their hard work during his campaign and expressed a desire to work closely with them, asking for professional corrections when needed.

With his return to Parliament, Baba Jamal is ready to bring renewed experience, gratitude, and commitment to transforming Ayawaso East.
