–as he marks one year in Parliament<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In remembrance of his election victory on December 7, 2020, the Member of Parliament for Prestea-Huni-Valley, Hon Robert Wisdom Cudjoe, has assured his constituents he would work hard to justify the confidence reposed in him during the 2020 election.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, though he knew he was going to win the December 7, elections, it took collaborative teamwork and sacrifices of his campaign members to ensure the resounding victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hon Robert Cudjoe was speaking in an Interview with EXPRESSNEWSGHANA,<\/em><\/strong> in Parliament to mark the one year of his election victory and subsequent swearing in parliament on January 7, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the closed of the polls on December 7, Hon Robert Cudjoe secured 56,464, out of total votes cast representing 57.79 per cent against his closed competitor, Barbara Oteng-Gyasi, the then Minister for Tourism and Creative Arts, who managed to obtained 39,067 votes representing 39.98 per cent of total votes cast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0In 2016, Hon Cudjoe contested but lost to Barbara due to internal rankling issues in the National Democratic Congress (NDC), even though he was the incumbent District Chief Executives but those issues have been ironed out and the party in the 2020 election went with a united and formidable team and successfully won the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While recounting the political impediment and schemes against him becoming victorious before and during the election, Hon Cudjoe said hard work by his campaign team paved the way and he would forever owe them gratitude for their sacrificial job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven though I knew I was going to win the election, so many underground schemes by persons who think I don\u2019t deserve to be MP or should not be the person to represent the good people of Jirapa tried their best to frustrate my campaign but their plans and schemes could work against me. I was on the ground and my team members stood on their feet to ensure the right things were done.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo as an experienced grassroots politician, I did not sleep on my job though I was the candidate. I took part in every ground work and before even the Electoral Commission (EC) collate the results, I and my team already knew we won the election, I was leading with over 17,000\u00a0 per the results at our hands. Our figures were correct and we knew I won the election cleanly,\u201d Hon Cudjoe who sounded very confident added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
