The event which proceeded the campaign drive walk on Sunday September 8, 2018 was aimed at sensitising party members and galvanising votes in her constituency.

Addressing party supporters, Mrs. Sawyer noted that the party intend to inaugurate branch executives for the ten (10) wards in Agona who will lead the NDC in 2020 general elections.

According to her, the NDC is still popular in her constituency and will win the December 2020 general elections no matter the noises the NPP makes.

She called for unity in the party in the Agona East constituency, saying that the party needed the votes of every one to recover power from the NPP.
