After nearly a year of actively criss-crossing the country, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will on Monday lead thousands of New Patriotic Party supporters on a float to cap the party’s 2016 national campaign. Party members and supporters will join all the 275 parliamentary candidates of the party at all the constituencies nationwide to rally last minute support for the party in Wednesday’s election.
At exactly 10:00am Monday, the presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo, will be joined by thousands of people at his Nima residence in Accra to begin the float which will see him visit most of the constituencies within Accra.
“Tomorrow 10 o’clock be at the road side because the President 2017 is coming and he’s coming your way!” former National Organiser of the NPP, Lord Commey told party faithfuls at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra. The party says it is leaving no stone unturned in this year’s presidential and parliamentary elections on December 7, which will see Nana Akufo-Addo make his third attempt at the presidency.
National Campaign Manager of the party, Peter Mac Manu, commended agents, supporters and members of the party for their hard work so far urging them to go into the finish line with vigilance. “We are at the finishing lap, no one should sleep,” he told a large cheering crowd, and urged them to rally their families and community on election day to cast their vote the NPP to bring about change.
He reiterated the need for the Electoral Commission to be transparent in the elections, especially with the transmission of results from the polling station through the respective constituencies to the national headquarters.
“The way you [EC] will transmit results from the polling station to constituency, to national level should be transparent. We don’t want short cut,” he cautioned. He encouraged all to capture the results of their respective polling stations which will be displaced by the EC with their mobile phones and WhatsApp same as to their constituency to ensure no one changes results during transmission. “All of you should be a watchman at the polling station,” he advised, adding, “whether NDC likes it or not Ghanaians want them to go. It is left for us to be vigilant after the ballot is cast”.
