Kufuor says his party will not be vindictive

Mr John Agyekum Kufuor, Presidential Candidate of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), has reiterated that when voted into power his government would neither be vindictive nor discriminatory.

He said there is therefore no cause for any individual or group to feel unsafe or threatened by a government of the NPP. Kufuor was addressing a mammoth regional rally at the Bantama Presbyterian school park in Kumasi, in the Ashanit Region.

He said his party does not subscribe to violence and remains fully committed to the promotion of peaceful elections. Kufuor said NPP is confident of winning the December polls and repeated his call to the Electoral Commission (EC) to ensure that polling is clean, fair and impartial.

He told the cheering crowd that the NPP is solidly united at the national, regional and constituency levels, saying, "there is total peace and harmony within the party, a sign of our readiness to wrestle political power".

He advised voters to vote for only the party's accredited candidates in the parliamentary election. Mr Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey, the NPP Campaign Manager, said Ghanaians have seen through the tricks of the NDC and they would unseat the government on December 7.

He said to bring about positive change in the lives of the people they need not just pray in the churches and mosques, but use the "power in their thumbs to see off the NDC ".

Obetsebi-Lamptey therefore called for a massive vote for Mr Kufuor and the NPP parliamentary candidates to put victory beyond doubt and to bring back hope to the nation
