‘NDC prepares for run-off’

The Greater Accra Regional Communication Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Michael Ampong has alleged that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) has started preparing feverishly for a run-off.

“The NDC, knowing very well that it will lose the petition going on at the Supreme Court, has started underground campaign for a run-off so we in the NPP should be well awake to ensure that we match them boot for boot even though it was clear that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won the 2012 general elections,” he added.

Mr Ampong stated this at the handing over ceremony of the University of Education Winneba branch of the Tertiary Education Conference of the NPP (TESCON) at Winneba over the weekend.

He urged the students to work assiduously to increase membership, indicating that TESCON has been the pillar of the NPP and ought to attract more people for party.

The Communication Director noted that Ghanaians have seen the vast difference between the NPP and the NDC in terms of good governance and would not hesitate to vote massively for them if the Supreme Court calls for a run-off.

“The NDC is only good at propaganda, corruption, mismanagement and looting of state coffers but not good governance ”

The newly-elected TESCON President, Alex Opoku Afriyie, promised to work extra hard to sustain the image of the party at Winneba and its environs.
