Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku, a leading member of the
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has rallied its supporters to go the extra
mile for resounding victory in the December polls.They should accept to
do more to reach out to every voter and assist them to understand why they
should trust the party with their votes, to salvage the troubled
economy.
Speaking at the campaign launch of the party in the Kwadaso
constituency, in Kumasi, he asked that they intensified the effort to
substantially increase its share of votes in the Ashanti Region, which has
traditionally remained loyal to it.
He expressed optimism about their
chances and said given hard work and unity of purpose, they were going to win
the election by a wider margin in the region.
Dr. Apraku dismissed as
unrealistic the one million votes targeted by the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC) and told them to be ready for a humiliating
defeat.
Ghanaians would vote for change to end the extreme economic
hardships - the worsening poverty, pain and suffering, he added.
He
called for the party’s followers to remain vigilant to prevent cheating and
ensure that the outcome of the election was credible.
He also counseled
them to be measured in their pronouncements and avoid doing anything likely to
fuel needless political tension and confusion.
Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiko,
the Regional Chairman, advised members of the party, who have filed their
nomination to contest the election as independent candidates, to rescind their
decision.
He called for the people to vote out the NDC for its abysmal
performance, saying, the deception, lies, broken promises and massive
corruption, over the last eight years must not be allowed to
continue. |
