Lawyer Yaw Boampong Adu-Brempong announces bid for NPP Obuasi West parliamentary ticket

Private legal practitioner, Yaw Boampong Adu-Brempong has announced his intention to contest the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary primary in the Obuasi West Constituency of the Ashanti Region.

In a statement posted on Saturday, November 14, 2026, he disclosed that he has filed his expression of intention to contest the party’s parliamentary primary.

Mr Adu-Brempong, who describes himself as a native of Obuasi, says his decision is informed by the need for purposeful leadership, effective representation and a development agenda that prioritises the interests of constituents.

He acknowledges the constituency’s considerable natural resource endowment, particularly gold, but argues that its wealth must also be reflected in improved living conditions and opportunities for residents.

According to him, the true measure of Obuasi’s wealth should extend beyond its mineral resources to include the quality of education available to children, employment opportunities for young people and an enabling environment for local businesses.

“The true measure of our wealth must go beyond what lies beneath our soil. It must be reflected in the quality of education our children receive, the jobs available to our young people, the opportunities we create for our businesses, and the standard of living of our people,” he states.

He further said his ambition goes beyond occupying a parliamentary seat, adding that he wants to see a constituency where opportunities are accessible, prosperity is shared and communities have prospects for development.

Mr Adu-Brempong who is campaigning under the slogan “Y.B 4 Obuasi West” called on party members and residents to join him on his political journey.
