Aspiring Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South in Accra will this Saturday morning hold a 13-kilometre marathon for the people in the constituency as part of efforts at encouraging them to keep fit.

Dubbed ‘Run for Change’, the marathon will start from the popular Lavender Hill at Korle-Gonno through the Accra High Street and other principal streets to the Mamprobi Sempe Park.

Participants who put up great performance will stand the chance of winning bicycles, money, school bags among others from the candidate, Jerry Ahmed Shaib who is standing on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party.

People of all ages are encouraged to participate in the marathon that will also create a platform for Mr Shaib who is a legal practitioner, to sell his agenda for the people to earn their votes in the December 7 general elections.

“The marathon is just about creating the awareness and getting people involved in the politics of today. We just want them to distress as well and by getting people informed of the bad policies of the government of the day,” Mr Shaib told Onua FM.

He said Ghana need a change hence the need to fun change, because “pupils and students are not able to pay their fees. Parents cannot cater for their children because they just cannot phantom what is going on currently”.

“We also need a change; change we can feel”, he added.
