COP George Alex Mensah
Commissioner of Police (rtd) George Alex Mensah is optimistic of winning the Asante Bekwai parliamentary seat in the Ashanti Region for the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 general elections.
COP Mensah retired barely a week from the Ghana Police Service after 31 years of service.
The Asante Bekwai seat is currently being occupied by the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Joe Osei-Owusu, who is not running again.
Ambitions
Speaking to Asaase 99.5 Accra on Wednesday, COP Mensah said he had plans of practicing law or contesting as MP upon retirement.
“I am a chartered accountant and I had plans of practicing law during my retirement and I also had plans of running as a Member of Parliament in my hometown Asante Bekwai,” he said in an interview with Anass Seidu.
“So, these are the two plans I have. Whichever materialises I will be there. For now I am going to run as MP if they give me the nod.”
“Of course, I will win, who will go into a competition and will not win? Once you are going into a competition you have to know that you either win or lose.
“I will not pull out in the last minute. If I pull out, my people will be angry,” COP Mensah added.
