The MP-elect pledged to prioritize development and reset the constituency, promising a new phase of progress. “We are going to Parliament to reset the whole constituency and ensure that what East Ayawaso deserves comes to pass,” he said.
Baba Jamal also expressed gratitude to the leadership of the National Democratic Congress, including the chairman, the General Secretary, and President John Mahama, for their guidance and confidence in his candidacy.
He further acknowledged the media for its coverage of the election process, pledging to maintain a cooperative relationship moving forward. “I want to form a partnership with the press as we reset Ayawaso East. Please correct us when we are wrong, but do so in a professional and proper way,” he urged.
The by-election result marks a decisive victory for the NDC and signals a renewed focus on constituency development and governance under Baba Jamal’s representation.
