OFFICIAL STATEMENT

On Monday, Delegates of the United Progressive Party ( UPP ) in the Trobu Constituency elected me as the Party’s Candidate for the 2016 Parliamentary Elections.

After months of campaign during which we marketed our plan for effective development and competence, this was the outcome we expected.

My team and I are grateful to every delegate who participated in the Elections. Also grateful to my co-contestants who gave me a great challenge to work harder to grab the mandate.

I urge all The Youth, Women and Men in my constituency to give my humble self their support to fight for the Change we all Desire in the 2016 Elections.

This is the task to which I commit myself and the task I believe we can fulfill working together.

Arise Ghana Youth for you Country!

Yours Truly

Diamond Appiah
