The campaign, which was launched last week in Accra, seeks to among other things create awareness on the need for polling station agents and officials to be well-resourced on Elections Day.
The campaign is targeted at raising at least GHC500 at each of the estimated 29,000 polling stations across the country to cater for the transportation, feeding, among other expenses, of the party’s agents.
Those who want to support the cause can send money to mobile money number 0548407629.
An account has also been created at the Kojo Thompson Road Branch of Zenith Bank under the name ‘I am for Nana Foundation’ with the account 6010614929 in which contributions could also be sent.
Again, ‘Adopt-A-Polling Station’ forms have also been deposited at the various NPP offices across the country with soft copies available on www.iamfornana.com/adopt.
According to Mr Abankwah Yeboah, NPP National Treasurer, the response to the project which was launched in Accra last week “has been very encouraging and it tells you how Ghanaians are determined to help us secure the ballots to ensure that the outcome of the elections reflect their true will.”
Speaking to the Daily Statesman yesterday, he urged all NPP sympathisers, as well as all who want a change, to join the campaign to secure the ballots at the polling stations.
“Having been actively involved in the fundraising process so far, I am more than encouraged by the enthusiasm people are showing in the campaign. I just want to encourage all party activists and sympathisers, especially in the constituencies, to get involved because they are the major stakeholders in this whole campaign, and they are also the direct beneficiaries too,” Mr Abankwah stated.
He added: “The polling station is the most important level of the election. Therefore, we have polling agents who supervise the elections at those places, those who go round to call the voters from their homes to come out and vote. We also have those who secure the polling stations to ensure there is no problem at the stations. This requires a lot of money and time. We as sympathisers of the party must, therefore, support the NPP in this regard.”
