NPP supporters in Upper East close
ranks
Bolgatanga, July 28, Ghanadot/GNA - New Patriotic Party (NPP)
supporters in the Upper East Region have been called upon to
vote overwhelmingly for both the Presidential and
Parliamentary Candidates of the Party.
Mr Isaac Atasige, an NPP activist, made the statement when
he met Party supporters from some constituencies in the
Upper East Region to help resolve some internal challenges
facing them.
He appealed to them not to allow their interests or the
influence by some unscrupulous individuals to supersede the
ultimate goal of the NPP, which is to win the forthcoming
elections convincingly.
He said there was the need for the NPP to win more
parliamentary seats to enable the Government continue with
its good policies and programmes for Ghanaians.
Mr Atasige indicated that the time for pointing accusing
fingers at one another was over, adding that each member of
the NPP should work assiduously towards total victory of the
Party.
He entreated Party members, especially the campaign team to
strengthen its machinery to reach the knocks and cracks of
the Region.
He noted that the NPP Government had laid a strong economic
foundation and has won international repute which needs to
be consolidated to enhance the living standard of the
people.
He urged Ghanaians to critically look at NPP’s achievements
and vote massively for the Party to continue with the good
works.
He said NPP had plans to empower northern farmers to shift
from subsistence to mechanized farming through the
construction of new dams as well as rehabilitating existing
ones to facilitate dry season farming in the area.
Mr Atasige dismissed reports that the NPP was collecting
Voters’ cards in order to give loans to owners.
“There is no way this year’s election could be rigged since
all the parties are poised to show vigilance and would have
equal representatives to monitor the process.”
Mr. Atasige entreated Ghanaians who had reached the voting
age to go out in their numbers and register when the voters’
register is reopened from July 31 to enable them exercise
their franchise.
