Accra,
Nov. 19,
Ghanadot/GNA
- Nii
Adjei
Tawiah,
contesting
the
Korley
Klottey
parliamentary
seat on
the
ticket
of the
New
Patriotic
Party (NPP)
in
Election
2008,
has
assured
Ghanaians
that the
Party
would
play by
the
rules in
the
elections.
He urged
Ghanaians
to have
confidence
in the
party
because
it had
lived by
its
promises
since it
came
into
power,
adding
that the
party
would
not do
any
thing to
tarnish
its
sound
track
record.
“We know
we will
win; we
have not
behaved
in a way
to mess
up, but
played
by the
rules.
We pray
that our
friends
on the
other
side of
the
political
divide
would
also do
the same
for
development
to take
place,
especially
under
the NPP,”
Nii
Tawiah
said in
Accra on
Tuesday.
Speaking
to the
Ghana
News
Agency (GNA)
on his
agenda
for the
constituency,
Nii
Tawiah
promised
to make
the
provision
of
employment
avenues
for the
youth a
priority
when
elected
to
represent
the
constituents
in the
National
Assembly.
“The
election
is
crucial,
and we
pray
that the
right
leader
is
chosen
to lead
the Osu
township,
Kinkawe,
Osu
Alata,
Osu Doku,
Osu
Ringway,
North
Adabraka,
Tudu,
Odawna
Official
Town and
Asylum
Down,
which
form the
main
communities
in the
constituency,
to lead
the
people
to
tackle
the
problems
of jobs,
water
supply,
and
sanitation.”
As a
former
Chairman
of the
Party in
the
Constituency,
Nii
Tawiah
said he
knew the
Constituency
very
well,
and his
score of
more
than two
thirds
of the
votes
among
four
aspirants
at the
party’s
primaries
make him
a
popular
choice
among
all the
parliamentary
candidates
in the
Constituency.
He
promised
to set
up a job
and
training
resource
centre,
and lead
the
people
to
improve
on
sanitation
for a
further
development
of the
numerous
business
interests
in the
Constituency.
Nii
Tawiah
said
despite
the main
function
of the
parliamentarian,
the
political
terrain
in Ghana
required
also
that the
MP
became a
facilitator
of
development,
and
promised
to dwell
on his
good
relations
with the
constituents
to bring
an
accelerated
development
to the
constituency.
He said
the NPP
was
neither
an
elitist
nor Akan
party,
but
rather
broad-based
and
invited
the
Ga-Dangmes
to
increase
their
membership
of the
Party to
make
room for
them to
be given
more
responsible
positions
in the
party
and the
national
governance.
