  "account": "A fierce four-way race for the NPP parliamentary ticket in Nandom has begun, as four candidates have declared their intent to run in the 2028 primaries. The current holder of the seat, Dr Richard Kuuire of the NDC, faces off against legal practitioner Sylvester Isang, former Interior Minister Ambrose Dery, social development consultant Alois Kog Kyaakpier Mohl, and former DKM Microfinance CEO Martin Dikumwine Delle.\n\nSylvester Isang emphasizes his campaign will focus on his experience and urgency. Born into humble beginnings, he has seen firsthand the challenges Nandom faces. He has pledged to provide five tractors for farmers, set up a Food Relief Office, and offer free transport for students, among other initiatives. Isang also vowed to conduct a clean campaign, pledging to avoid insults and legal action against those spreading false information about him.\n\nFormer MP and Interior Minister Ambrose Dery announced his return to politics on Nandom FM. He attributed his past accomplishments to divine intervention, stating that any positive attributes associated with him were not a result of his own efforts but rather the power of God.\n\nAlois Kog Kyaakpier Mohl, a former Deputy CEO of the Social Investment Fund and a social development consultant, is seeking a second chance after being disqualified from the 2024 primaries. He affirms that his decision to participate is unchangeable.\n\nMartin Dikumwine Delle, the former CEO of the defunct microfinance company DKM Microfinance, announced his candidacy on Facebook, becoming the fourth contender in the race. As the Nandom NPP primary takes shape, it is quickly becoming one of the most competitive races in the Upper West Region ahead of the 2028 elections.",
