Osafo-Maafo kicks off second Northern
Region campaign
Accra, Nov. 19, Ghanadot/GNA - Mr Yaw Osafo-Maafo, one of
presidential aspirants contesting next month's New Patriotic
Party (NPP) primaries, on Monday began a second campaign
tour of the Northern Region to canvass for votes.
The aim of the tour is also to encourage delegates to vote
for "a leader who can help the party to attract floating
voters to vote for the NPP" during the 2008 elections.
Mr Osafo-Maafo told the Ghana News Agency in Accra on Monday
that the success of the NPP in the 2008 elections would
depend on floating voters.
"Floating voters are voters who are not directly attached to
one particular party but have the national interest at
heart. The floating voters are interested in getting a
candidate who will ensure development."
Mr Osafo-Maafo, who is also the Member of Parliament for
Akim Oda, said there was evidence that he was a performer
and someone who would ensure development.
"The NPP needs candidate who can best continue with the good
works of the Kufuor-led administration and delegates are
interested in voting for a person who they can identify
with," he said.
Touting his leadership skills, Mr Osafo-Maafo said he was
someone with quality management skills, a focused vision and
one who inspired many in the party when in opposition and in
government.
The tour, he said, would take him through Bole, Sawla and
Damongo to Tamale where he would hold a grand rally on
Wednesday.
Mr Osafo-Maafo said he would tour all 26 constituencies in
the region and continue to the Upper East and Upper West
Regions subsequently.
