Vote NDC out - Kufuor

Mr John A Kufuor, presidential candidate of NPP, on Sunday urged Ghanaians to make history by voting out the ruling NDC through the ballot box.
Addressing a rally at the INDAFA Park in Accra, he said the nation has never been allowed to change any government through the power of the ballot box in its history. He described the NDC "as incompetent and corrupt, which has only brought poverty and misery to the people".

"The NPP will accept the result of the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections if only the photo ID cards was used and we will reject it if the NDC played any trick" to win, he said.
He told the large crowd, "I see the people's power before me. Power that is flowing around the globe, in which people are demanding accountability and change through voting".
Mr Kufuor asked them to covert their numerical support into votes for the NPP to form the next government to end their sufferings.

Alhaji Mahama Aliu, the running mate, blamed the NDC for the Northern Conflict and said "the government has set tribe against tribe in the country".
He said the NPP has new vision for Ghana, which is unity and development.

Nana Akufo Addo, a leading member and MP for Abuakwa said the position of the party is that "no photo ID cards, no vote".
He said President Rawlings should stop attacking the constitution by inciting the military against other political parties.
"If Rawlings is going, he should go with all NDC people, together with the umbrella and allow the new government of NPP to work.
The nation is tired with hypocrisy, incompetence, in which poverty is described as wealth and integrated corruption"
Nana Addo said "if the NPP is unable to deliver in the four years of its tenure of office it should be rejected by the people by voting it out".

Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, Campaign Manager, introducing Mr Kufuor said the presidential candidate has proved to be a competent leader throughout his life and should be voted for to occupy the castle, the seat of government.

Mr Obetsebi-Lamptey said it was Mr Kufuor, who wrote the current decentralisation policy being implemented by the government and claiming the credit.
He said Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Vice-President and presidential candidate of NDC, "before joining President Rawlings was a diplomat but has turned abusive and a puppet".

All the speakers called on the electorate to vote for the NPP. Mr Victor Okulley Nortey, candidate for Ablekuma North, said the party would streamline positions within the Police, Prisons and Fire Service.
He said some NDC activists were in possession of ballot papers and urged NPP supporters "to play it rough once the NDC are not going to play it fairly".
