The sitting Member of Parliament for Tema West in the Greater Accra Region, has applauded delegates of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), for what he calls spirit of discernment that is characterising their assessment of candidates.

Mr Carlos Ahenkorah, who is running for re-election for the party's parliamentary ticket for Tema West, revealed that during a recent meeting with delegates, they asked probing and relevant questions that really impressed him.

A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra said the MP who was tipped to win the NPP 2020 parliamentary ticket for Tema West again said the experience with the delegates was quite sobering and also welcoming as it put him in a place where he was assessed by what he had done rather than who he was.

"During the meeting, the delegates ticked one by one, his developmental projects in the constituency, including roads, school and hospital rehabilitations as well as logistical provisions to various institutions.

Among others, the delegates concurred that he is a former Shipping Manager at the Ghana Agro Foods Company, CEO of CarloKing Services Company, a board member of a rural bank and a former lecturer at the Ghana Maritime University.
