NPP Eastern Regional Chairman (standing) interacts with some electorate
The Eastern Regional branch of the governing New Patriotic Party has intensified its campaign, especially in areas where the party’s strength is low, ahead of this year’s general election.
Over the weekend, the Regional Chairman, Kiston Akomeng Kissi, joined party faithful in the Krobo enclave and Upper West Akyem constituency, where the party does not have sitting Members of Parliament, to embark on a door-to-door campaign.
The governing party is targeting at least 70 per cent of the vote to be cast in the region in this year’s general election.
The party is also seeking to win at least 30 out of the 33 parliamentary seats in the region.
According to the regional chairman, the party has an obligation to deliver on its set target, hence the intensified campaign, with less than four weeks into the December 7 election.
Performance
The regional chairman says the President Akufo-Addo-led government has performed “extremely well” and therefore needs Ghanaians to extend its mandate to continue to do more for the country.
The good performance, notwithstanding, the regional chairman says the party cannot be complacent.
He has therefore indicated that “we will not rest on our laurels until the NPP wins 30 seats in the region and President Akufo-Addo is declared victorious”.
Hard work
He admonished party executives at all levels and government appointees in the region to “move out of their comfort zones, fold their sleeves and go to the grounds to campaign vigorously to secure four more years for President Nana Akufo-Addo.”
“At this point, it’s all hands-on-deck. Everyone, including government appointees, must get involved because this is the surest way to win this election convincingly,” he said.
He commended all parliamentary candidates, MDCEs, party executives and volunteer groups in the region for the excellent campaign so far, and urged them to sustain the gains.
