NPP activists advised against complacency

Wa, May 15, GNA - Mr John Ibrahim Donkor, the Wa Central Constituency Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, has said complacency was the major obstacle to victory for the party in the next general elections and urged the party's activists to work harder for electoral success by highlighting the achievements of the government. He said "We will win the next elections hands down" has been the common refrain of many party members in the constituency but they were forgetting that such victory could not come without unity and hard work.

Mr Donkor said this in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on how the party was meeting its challenges in the constituency ahead of the 2008 elections.

The tarring of Tinga/Bamboi stretch of the Wa/Bamboi road, the capitation grant, provision of street lights for Wa and the stable prices of commodities in the various markets, he said, had strengthened the existing good will for the party in the constituency but that could work in its favour if party functionaries there united to face the challenges ahead.

He said the constituency executives were putting all relevant structures in place and devising the appropriate strategies to ensure that the perennial failure of the party to win in the constituency was reversed in the 2008 elections.
