As the NDC gears up for its Presidential and Parliamentary Primaries scheduled for the 13th of May, 2023 in readiness to capture power in the 2024 elections, one man who has the magic wand to redeem the Wa Central Constituency and contribute the overarching objective of annexing the presidency in 2024 is Alhaji Hudu Mogtari.
The Former Chief Executive Officer of the Food and Drugs Authority has so far demonstrated his potential to substantially boost the votes of the NDC in the Wa Central constituency.
Hudu has signified his preparedness to serve the Wa Central Constituency as its next Member of Parliament as he continues to outline his vision for all constituents ranging from Women, Youth, Students, and Artisans to Apprentices.
Having gathered considerable experience in his public life, Alhaji Hudu Mogtari has so far among all the contestants exhibited the rare values of accommodation, inclusiveness, humility, and love for all regardless of one’s background.
In his interactions with delegates, the affable Alhaji Hudu Mogtari continues to assure them of his commitment to leverage the socio-economic potentials of the Constituency as the gateway to the Upper West Region to create opportunities for all constituents to realize their potentials with ease.
He says a vote for him is a vote for accountability and an open-door regime whereas the next Member of Parliament he shall dedicate his time and energy to periodically meet with the constituents and above all branch and constituency executives to hear their concerns and expectations to form the bedrock of his interventions for the Wa Central Constituency.
He decries the unimpressive state of the Constituency which is supposed to be the center of the Region as the Capital but rather lags behind in terms of central government and other interventions.
Alhaji Hudu Mogtari thus assures of his intention to lobby and convince other stakeholders to channel infrastructure and social interventions to the constituency. To him, the over-reliance on the Common Fund has been the cause of the lame leadership in the constituency.
To be able to bring to bear his vision for the Constituency, he implores all the delegates to vote for him at the primaries in order to effect a positive change that will impact the lives of the constituents for the better.

- He shall run an open and transparent regime whereby the Common Fund will be audited and the report posted on the Municipal Assembly Notice Board
- He shall facilitate the establishment of an agricultural mechanization center to afford farmers access to cheap and improved services
- He shall establish an educational and skills development fund for the youth and apprentices in the constituency
