Ekow Kwainoe Calls for Unity and Stronger Party Collaboration to Develop Ekumfi

The Member of Parliament for Ekumfi Constituency, Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe, has urged party delegates and executives at all levels to prioritise unity, collaboration and mutual respect to enable him deliver meaningful development to the constituency.

Addressing delegates during a stakeholders’ meeting on Tuesday, 23rd December, 2025, the MP cautioned against acting on assumptions and misinformation, encouraging members to always seek clarification before taking decisions that could affect party cohesion.

But if I am not given peace of mind and stability to work, and I fail, we will all be blamed,” he noted.

In a related address, the Constituency Secretary, Edward Acquah Fayah, called for discipline, unity and loyalty, stressing that internal cohesion is the surest way to sustain victory and ensure collective benefits for all party members.

The meeting was attended by key dignitaries including the District Chief Executive, Hon. Ismaeel Nana Asamoah, traditional leaders such as Nana Appa Korankye, Odzikro of Ekumfi Abaka, constituency executives and party delegates.

JEA MILLS SHS Sees Road Reshaping and Resurfacing

JEA MILLS SHS Road 

The John Evans Atta-Mills Senior High School in Ekumfi Otuam of Ghana’s Central Region, has recently seen its access road receive a much-needed facelift, thanks to Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Ekumfi Constituency. 

JEA Mills SHS; first E-Block built

Since the school’s establishment in 2015/2016, the road leading to JEA Mills has been in a poor state, marked by potholes and sections eroded by rain. Although the road remains untarred, it serves as the only route to the school. Its deplorable condition has often deterred students from attending classes especially during the rainy season, while the dust during the dry season has made breathing difficult.

Ariel View of JEA Mills SHS 

Dr. Kwainoe’s intervention to resurface and reshape the road forms part of his broader commitment to addressing the challenges faced by students and teachers. His efforts are aimed at improving accessibility and hopes to ultimately fix and tar the road, along with others across the Ekumfi Constituency.

Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe 

He believes that, the road leading to a school built and named in honour of the late Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills, Ghana’s President from 2009-2012, should be in better condition and vowed to do everything within is power to maintain and enhance its standards.

Dr. Kwainoe is contesting the upcoming December 7, 2024 elections, seeking to win the Ekumfi Parliamentary seat.
