NDC demonstrates tenacity to forge ahead for Election 2012 - Intimate Club

The Intimate Club of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday said the party's recent Accra rally demonstrated its tenacity to forge ahead in unity for massive electoral victory in Election 2012.

“The gigantic enthusiastic crowd that poured out to cover every empty space at the consecrated ground at James Town laid bare party activists' resolve to work together to retain power in Election 2012,” Mr Djanie Magoah, Chairman of the club said in a statement issued in Accra.

It commended members of the 31st December Women’s Movement, National Reform Party, Democratic Freedom Party, as well as other leading members of the party and grassroots supporters for their show of solidarity.

“We welcome back home our Comrades who at a stage in our political history defected to pursue other political interest...,” the statement said and tasked all members to create conducive working environment for the returnees to feel at home.

The NDC Intimate Club tasked all Parliamentary Aspirants to collaborate with the party's structures at the Constituency level, team-up with losers in the Parliamentary primaries as the campaign ahead was bigger than any personal glorification.

Mr Magoah appealed to all feuding parties, and people with challenges to use the party’s internal mechanism to resolve issues such as the regular media engagement especially among leading personalities, which could endanger the party’s fortunes in Election 2012.

On the biometric voter registration exercise slated for March 24-May 5, Mr Magoah urged all qualified individuals to register “as that is the only way you can participate in Election 2012 and vote to retain President John Evans Atta Mills”.

He appealed to the Electoral Commission and the National Commission for Civic Education to intensify public education on the exercise especially at the community levels.

Mr Magoah appealed to the Ministry of Environment Science and Technology, Environmental Protection Agency and the Accra Metropolitan Authority to check sand winning at the beaches.**
