Newly elected Ayawaso East Member of Parliament, Baba Jamal Mohammed Ahmed, has dedicated his victory to his 93-year-old mother, Mimi.
Following his decisive win on Tuesday, March 3, the former Akwatia MP revealed that his mother had promised to ensure his return to Parliament — a promise that has now been fulfilled.
“I want to thank the Almighty Allah for giving us this victory. Let me state that I dedicate this victory to my 93-year-old mother, Mimi, for promising to support me and ensuring that one day I would go back to Parliament,” he declared.
He noted that for years, she carried the conviction that her son would return to the House. Tuesday’s result, he said, was more than a political comeback; it was the fulfilment of a promise.
“Today, her vision and wish have come true. And I thank Allah for her life, and I dedicate this victory to her.”
Though she stayed out of the political spotlight, Mimi’s influence, her son suggested, shaped the resilience behind his campaign.
Baba Jamal was quick to remind supporters that the win belonged to the constituency as much as to his family.
“I want to state that this victory is not for me, Baba Jamal, alone; it’s for the good people of Ayawaso East. I want to thank all of them for having confidence in me and electing me as their parliamentary candidate-elect,” he added.
The former High Commissioner to Nigeria was declared the winner in the highly anticipated election after polling 10,884 votes, defeating the NPP’s Yussif Ali Baba, who obtained 4,009 votes.
