NPP Foot Soldiers not for any aspirant
- Co-ordinator
Accra, July 18, Ghanadot/GNA - The Foot Soldiers Welfare
Association (FOSWA) of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not
to promote any Presidential Aspirant but rather to galvanize
support to ensure victory for the Party in the 2008
elections.
This was stated by Mr Ebo Mensah, National Co-ordinating
Director of FOSWA at a meeting of over thousand foot
soldiers of the party from all over the country in Accra.
He said the primary interest of the group was to motivate
disenchanted foot soldiers not to sit on the fence during
the electioneering campaign period.
Mr Mensah stressed that FOSWA should not be seen as an "Aluta"
group to cause trouble but rather an Association to mobilise
"these people whose immense political strategy won us power
in the year 2000 and 2004 general elections".
He described a foot soldier as an activist dedicated and
committed to the growth and development of party over the
years not holding an executive position.
The Co-ordinating Director said the group was not for any of
the people vying to lead the party to the election but was
only interested in building a solid foundation for the firm
take-off of the one who would be selected as the flag-bearer
to ensure victory "hands down".
Mr Elias Teye, National Co-ordinator in charge of General
Organisation, said the Association had come to stay and
urged all foot soldiers of the Party to join.
He said, "so far we have been able to organize over ten
thousand members from 200 constituencies and the number
keeps mounting on."
Mr Teye stated that after the formal inauguration of the
Association in September this year, FOSWA would launch a
house-to-house campaign code named "Operation Baby Elephant
Walk" to propagate the achievements of the NPP
administration.
A fund-raising, logistics and media relation committees were
inaugurated at the meeting.
