Henry Nana Boakye, the NPP's National Organizer, voiced the party's confidence in an interview with Citi News, saying, "Clearly Ejisu is NPP and NPP is Ejisu…we do not see that any independent candidate can win the Ejisu Constituency. We have a vibrant and energetic lawyer, and we are strategically positioning the party to win this hands down."

The party has also asserted that Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, the former Member of Parliament for the area who is now running as an independent candidate, has made minimal contributions to the constituency's development.

Nana Boakye dismissed the notion that Aduomi poses a significant threat to the party's expected victory, highlighting Aduomi's past appointments under previous NPP administrations.

"The facts are there; under President Kufuor, he was appointed at the Ministry of Highways as a director. Under Nana Akufo-Addo, he was appointed as a deputy minister of roads…NPP gave him the opportunity to be an MP for 12 good years," Nana Boakye stated.
