Ayawaso east: The New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso East, Baba Ali Yussif, says his deep-rooted ties within the constituency position him strongly to win the seat in the 2026 by-elections. Speaking in an interview on GhanaWeb TV, the NPP candidate emphasised that elections are won not merely on party popularity or big names, but on long-standing relationships and grassroots engagement.
According to Ghana Web, Yussif highlighted his educational background within the constituency, having attended the Kanda cluster of schools, now part of the Nima cluster of schools. He believes that his upbringing and active involvement in community activities have created bonds across Ayawaso East that transcend partisan lines.
Yussif recounted his involvement in youth advocacy and voluntary teaching during BECE and WASSCE periods. He also participated in vacation classes organised by the Ghana Muslim Academy for more than a decade, which he believes has further strengthened his connections within the community.
