Ashanti rally draws record crowds for manifesto listening

The Ashanti regional listening session in Kumawu became the best-attended event of the manifesto tour, with organisers estimating 18,000 participants.

Farmers pressed candidates on cocoa floor prices tied to production costs; youth groups demanded timelines for TVET partnerships with local factories. Parliamentary candidate Abena Frimpong committed to publishing her constituency office budget online within thirty days of any election victory.

Volunteers registered 2,400 new voters on-site, continuing a nationwide drive that has added more than 40,000 names since January.
