The foundation of ruling National Democratic
Congress (NDC) in Ashaiman was shaken on Friday, following a colossal crowd
which poured out onto the streets to welcome Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the
presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), on his tour of the
Greater Accra Region.The Ashaiman populace proved that, indeed, the
party is poised for political victory in 2016.
The crowd flooded the
streets of Ashaiman to showcase their love for the party, thereby, causing
massive vehicular traffic for their party leader to easily travel through the
municipality.
Elated-looking people from all corners of the constituency
were seen singing songs and dancing to the party’s song amidst chanting ‘change
is coming’.
Sources within the ruling party indicate that both national
and constituency executives are having sleepless nights since the day the
flagbearer left the area.
The party is still wondering as to how the
opposition leader was able to galvanise that massive crowd in its
stronghold.
The NDC has held the Ashaiman parliamentary seat from 1992
until in 2001 when confusion rocked the party, paving way for the NPP candidate
to sail through.
The incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the
constituency, Alfred Kwame Agbesi, won the seat back to the NDC since the 2004
elections and has maintained the seat.
He lost his bid to represent his
party for the fourth time to Mr Ernest Norgbey, who is now the parliamentary
candidate for the 2016 elections. |
