Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, the NDC parliamentary candidate for Tema West, said this when he addressed rallies at Kanawu and Adjei Kojo and reminded members and supporters of the party that the contributions of every Tom, Dick and Harry was indispensable.

“We need to understand ourselves, close our ranks and work together as one family with a common objective in mind”, he said.

At Kanawa where he met the Zongo Caucus of the party, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo assured Muslims that the leadership of the party would continue to work in the best interest of the Muslim community.

“We are looking for servant-leaders who are prepared to serve the people, and not to lord it over them.”

At Adjei Kojo, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo urged members and supporters of the party to sacrifice and die a little to ensure a resounding victory in December.

Mr. Samuel Fleischev-Kwabi, Municipal Chief Executive for Suhum, urged members and supporters of the party to propagate the development projects NDC had undertaken in the last three and half years in order to convince majority of Ghanaians to renew the party’s mandate in December.
