In politics, a leader’s word is their bond. For the 1,368 delegates of Bolgatanga Central, that bond was recently tested — and broken.

What should have been a straightforward process ahead of the upcoming polling station elections became a period of uncertainty after Hon. Isaac Adongo failed to fulfill his public commitment to cover delegate dues and nomination form fees. The unfulfilled pledge left more than a thousand party faithful in limbo, causing delays and casting doubt over the constituency’s democratic process.

Where one leader fell short, however, others stepped up.

‘Friends of Prosper’ moved decisively to prevent the constituency’s progress from stalling. Recognizing the urgency, the group cleared all outstanding dues for every delegate and fully funded nomination forms across Bolgatanga Central. Beyond financial support, they are also providing free technical assistance to help candidates navigate the online registration process.

The group’s intervention sends a clear message: real leadership is measured not by statements made at a microphone, but by burdens lifted from the people. By removing financial barriers, ‘Friends of Prosper’ has not only eased costs for candidates but also restored integrity to the local political process. Their actions demonstrate that true commitment is shown through results, not rhetoric.
