Mills' campaign team releases flyer

The Campaign team of Professor. John Atta Mills, candidate for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, on Monday released the campaign flyer, which says by virtue of his experience, he understands and has solutions to major issues confronting the nation.

It described him as "a disciplined and religious family man, hardworking, punctual and honest public servant." A statement signed in Accra by Mr. Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, former Minister of Education, emphasised that Prof. Mills was a candidate with a mind of his own.

It cited the decision of Prof. Mills to nominate Mr Martin Amidu as his running mate during the 2000 elections although he was under pressure from some quarters within the party to nominate another person.

According to the statement, Dr. Ben Kumbuor, a leading spokesman for the team, said if Ghanaians want a better government than they have now, then Prof. Mills is their man with the right experience. "Today, President Kufuor was confessing to new things he was learning after being President for 20 months."

Mr. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, another member of the team, said Prof. Mills' concern for peace during the 2000 elections, which was not appreciated at the time, has now become very relevant in the light of the conflict in Cote d'Iviore, Yendi, Bawku and other communities.
