Osofo Kyiriabosom as he is widely known, seems not to be happy with majority of statutory in the country, he has since his declaration of intent to contest the Presidential seat, vowed to change so many things. The recent of which was his vow to change the Parliamentary number from 275 to 16.
According to him, when one is 18 years of age, the individual has less life experience and dependency to make a heavy choice as voting. He shared that, almost every Ghanaian at the age of 25, might have experienced the Ghanaian life and can undoubtedly make good choices and decisions as far as election is considered.
