Women, youth told to vote for NPP
Zorko (UE), July 20, Ghanadot/GNA- Women and the youth have
been urged to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to
enable the Party to champion their cause to liberate them
from their plight.
Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo, wife of the Presidential Candidate
of the NPP said this in a statement read on her behalf by
Mr. Isaac Atasige, the Coordinator of her campaign team at
Zorko in the Bongo District in the Upper East Region at the
weekend during a female football competition.
She said she had already pledged to champion the cause of
women and children when the NPP wins the upcoming elections
and would not let them down.
Mrs. Akufo-Addo said as women who formed majority of the
population they had a greater influence and could make a
greater impact by exercising their franchise by renewing
their mandate for the NPP.
She explained that by so doing, “you as women would be
playing a major role in addressing your own problems since
the party would be more committed to solving your plight as
a result of your efforts of making it to retain power.”
Mrs. Akufo-Addo entreated women to convince and encourage
their husbands and others to vote for the party and also
appealed to them to urge their children who had attained the
voting age to register when the voters register opened to
enable them to cast their votes.
She reiterated that she would advocate vigorously by
ensuring that the “Women and Children Ministry” was
adequately strengthened to advance the cause of women and
children.
She asked Ghanaians to cross examination their living
conditions as at the period of the National Democratic
Congress (NDC) and the NPP Government, saying the NPP
Government had helped transformed the economy better than
the NDC and appealed to the electorate to retain the party
in power to enable it to continue to improve the living
standards of the people.
Mr. Francis Akurugu Asampana, the District Chief Executive
for Bongo urged foot soldiers of the party not to be
complacent but to strengthen their machinery by intensifying
their campaigns to capture more votes for the party.
He asked Ghanaians to examine critically and make a right
choice, saying their future would be doomed if they make the
wrong choice.
He added that, the NPP Government had chalked a lot of
successes in the implementation of good policies such as the
Capitation Grant, School Feeding Programme, Metro Bus
System, National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), among
others and deserve another term of office to continue with
its good works.
