“We have done our own analysis, and we know all the persons who have put themselves up to be elected as Parliamentary candidates. We are very confident and without any shred of doubt that Roni Nicol is the best candidate to secure victory for the party and preserve the Ablekuma West Parliamentary seat,” a delegate said.

Another delegate added: “With his wealth of experience and considering how resourceful he is, we believe if the NPP elects Roni Nicol as Parliamentary candidate and he is ultimately elected as the Member of Parliament, Ablekuma West constituency will be better served in terms of development. Even in his private capacity, his works in the constituency are visible for all to see. We will do ourselves a great deal of good if we make him our PC and eventually as our MP.” 

“He is a very likable person in the constituency and admired by lots of people from across the political divide.
