Senior executives and members of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) have hit the streets to convince Ghanaians to adopt
various polling stations on elections day.The awareness creation
exercise saw party members and executives distributing party posters and
stickers to motorists and shop owners.
The exercise was also to create
awareness on the need for people to play a role at the polling
station.
In Accra, the wife of the Vice Presidential Candidate, Samira
Bawumia, took to the streets of Mamobi and Nima to share flyers and educate
people on the need to vote.
“Election 2016 is almost here. Don’t sit on
the fence. Join the movement for change,” Mrs Bawumia told motorists.
The
Chairman of the NPP 2016 campaign, Mr. Mac Manu, who led another team said, 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 electorate 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. Some can bring
foodstuff, money, your time and energy will also be appreciated and any other
thing you think you can help with is welcome,” he explained.
In order to
adopt polling stations, people have been called upon to 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.
‘Adopt-A-Polling Station’ forms have also been deposited at the
various NPP offices across the country with soft copies available on
