The event, graced by the presence of Hon.

“This Iftar Train has allowed me to connect with the people of Ayawaso East on a deeper level during this sacred month.”
As the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for Ayawaso East, Rahman pledged to continue working tirelessly to address the needs and concerns of the community, emphasising his commitment to being a “strong, dedicated voice” for the people in the halls of government.
“I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome and gracious hospitality extended to me by the diverse Muslim communities living in the various electoral areas we visited,” he said.
“It has been a tremendously rewarding experience to share Iftar meals, engage in insightful discussions, and feel the vibrant spirit of fellowship that defines this holy period.
“As your next Member of Parliament, I pledge to continue working tirelessly to address the needs and concerns of our community.
“The invaluable insights I have gained from this Iftar Train initiative will guide my efforts to be a strong, dedicated voice for the people of Ayawaso East in the halls of government.”
Hon. Ben Abdallah Banda, who spoke on behalf of the Vice President, endorsed Rahman’s candidature, stating, “Zak Rahman has demonstrated his commitment to the people of Ayawaso East through this Iftar Train initiative. I have no doubt that he will be a tireless advocate for your concerns in Parliament.”
