The Kumbungu District Directorate of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) has held a Parliamentary Candidates’ dialogue to deepen democratic engagements in the area.
It was designed to provide citizens with the opportunity to interact with Parliamentary candidates in the Kumbungu Constituency, make informed decisions, and promote peaceful and inclusive elections.
Although all the Parliamentary candidates in the constituency were invited to share their visions and address the concerns of the constituents, only Professor Hamza Adam, the incumbent Member of Parliament for the area on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress, attended the event.
The event, held in Kumbungu, brought together political party executives, Inter-party Dialogue Committee members, religious leaders, traditional authorities, security agencies, and members of the public.
Professor Adam, speaking during the event, said that within the last four years, he had worked to address several development challenges in the area, including the extension of potable water, electricity, and classroom blocks, among others, to communities.
He said his leadership had transformed the healthcare system in the area, with significant improvements in healthcare infrastructure and services.
He promised to create job opportunities for the people and empower them, especially the youth in the area.
Superintendent Mr. David Nyuah, Kumbungu District Police Commander, urged all to prioritize peace and tolerance during this year’s elections.
He said, “Elections are about winning, but only one person can win. We must accept the outcome and maintain the peace.”
Janet Ameseya, Kumbungu District Director of NCCE, lauded participants for their enthusiasm in the exercise and called on the community members to come out in their numbers and vote for the candidate of their choice.
