Electorate urged to vote for
visionary leaders
Accra, Oct. 22, Ghanadot/GNA - Miss Petra Maria Amegashie,
vice presidential candidate of the People's National
Convention (PNC) on Wednesday appealed to the electorate to
vote for visionary leaders who would improve upon their
livelihoods.
"Our party's flag bearer Dr Edward Mahama has vision and he
is committed to his ideals and has proved that he is
consistent in his campaign messages. Ghanaians have come to
realise that this is the time to elect the PNC into office,"
she said.
Ms Amegashie was speaking during a familiarisation tour of
the offices of TV3, Choice FM and the Ghanaian Times.
She said the country needed a leader who would focus on the
needs of the people and implement humane policies.
Ms. Amegashie called for a paradigm shift from insults to
issue based campaigns in the run up to the polls in
December.
"We must not vilify our political opponents in order to
prove to the electorate that politics is not a dirty game,"
she said.
Ms. Amegashie stressed the need to make petty trading
lucrative and not allow the Ghanaian market to be flooded
with cheap foreign imports.
She urged women not to shy away from politics which was seen
as a male dominated terrain.
Ms Amegashie advised the media to disseminate information
that would help promote peaceful elections.
Ms Emma Morrison, Head of Foreign Desk at TV3, Mr Raymond
Afagatsi, Senior Management Member of Choice FM, Mr Enimil
Ashong, Editor of the Spectator and Merari Alomele, Features
Editor of Weekly Spectator took Ms Amegashie round the
various departments at their establishments.
