The Member of Parliament for Ahafo Ano South, Stephen Balado Manu says his lose at the NPP primaries will not negatively affect his performance during the rest of his period in office.
He says he will now have extra time to work more effectively in parliament as he will not have to shuffle between his constituency and Accra working on a regular basis as he has done over the years.
Hon. Balado Manu is one of the experienced and articulate legislatures who has been in parliament since 1997 and was seeking for a fourth term in office, but lost to Francis Manu Adabor in the just ended NPP parliamentary primaries held on 30th April 2011.
He once was the Chairman of the Education Committee in parliament where he was very instrumental in passing lots of legislative instruments and also served as a member of the ECOWAS parliament.
Speaking to ghanamps.gov.gh, the Member of Parliament for Ahafo Ano South, states that he is not the least bitter about the outcome of the primaries and he will work assiduously in his quest to see the New Patriotic Party recapture power come the 2012 general elections.
He adds that the verdict of the delegates is in the best interest of the party and he will not do anything to undermine the chances of the party in the impending 2012 elections which promises to be keenly contested.
“I will continue to promote the ideals of the party, defend the party both on radio and television and do all that I was doing in the past which has positively impacted on the party’’ he said.
