Vote massively for the NPP - General Secretary

Mr Kwadwo Owusu-Afriyie, General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on supporters of the party to vote massively for Nana Akufo-Addo on December 7th for better management of the country’s resources.

He said the NPP was the only party which could transform the country’s economy and ensure equal sharing of the national cake, create jobs and provide free Senior High School (SHS) education.

Mr Owusu-Afriyie was addressing supporters of the NPP at the final rally at the Effua Sutherlands Children’s Park in Accra on Wednesday.

He said it was the responsibility of supporters of the party to protect their rights by staying away 50 meters of the polling stations after the voting and also take note of whatever transpires at the center.

Mr Owusu-Afriyie said the government had sent to each region amoured vehicles but Kumasi alone had ten.

He said supporters should be vigilant and that whoever attempted to snatch a ballot box should be shown the way to the Police Station.

In an Interview with some supporters Ismael Yahaya of Ashaiman said the executive of the party would do all they could to close the margins of votes that always come from the Volta Region every election.

Mr Bright Appiah of Kasoa noted that the NPP free SHS policy was the only one which could rescue Ghanaians from the educational crises.

Ms Akua Danso of Dansoman said: “Nana Addo is my man and he is the one I am going to vote for because I want him to lead this country and transform the economy to a better one.”

Mrs Elizabeth Donkor of La, urged supporters of the party to propagate all the positive achievements of the NPP government under former President John Agyekum Kufuor in their homes for people to vote the NPP come December 7th 2012, adding. “Ghanaians would return the NPP party to power.”
