Dem, who will be vying for Sami Constituency seat said he sympathises with the community and urged them to vote for him to ensure their challenge becomes a thing of the past.
Dem, a teacher by profession noted that he deems it necessary to join the political arena to bring rapid development including agriculture, education, health, electricity and infrastructure among others to his people.
"I will be the first MP to have an office in Sami District and only travel to Kombo when there are sittings at the National Assembly," he promised.
He also expressed his readiness to empower youth and women of his district with job opportunities.
Sami is among the poorest districts in the country as well as the least developed with only two communities within the entire district benefiting from electricity supply.
