NDC abandons rallies - for lack of funds

The Evening News says the National Democratic Congress (NDC) would not engage in mass rallies and frequent advertisements as the NPP is currently engaged in.

Dr E.G. Don-Arthur, a member of the National Campaign Team, said in Accra on Thursday that the party has no money now to carry out intensive campaigns.

He said although the party planned for the expenditure of an eventual run-off, it is very careful in dealing with its finances to prevent Ghanaians from accusing it of using States funds in their campaigns.

He said the NDC is in a peculiar situation different from that of the NPP stating that "they have nothing to worry about because nobody knows where they get their funds from." He said either Ghanaians would point accusing fingers at the NDC for dipping their hands in state coffers if they organise more rallies and ran adverts or they might read meanings into the source of their funds for their activities.
