NPP will accept the outcome of elections - Allan

Agona Kwanyako (C/R), Aug. 25, GNA - Mr Allan Kyeremanten, a former Trade Minister, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would accept the outcome of the December election and appealed to all political parties to do the same.

Addressing a rally at Kwanyako he said it was imperative for all political parties to advice their supporters against any act that would disturb the electoral process and bring the integrity of the Electoral Commission into disrepute and also disturb the peace of the country. The Kwanyako rally, which attracted thousands of supporters of the party, formed part of a one-week tour of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the NPP presidential aspirant, to the Central Region.

Nana Akufo-Addo also visited Agona Asafo, Duakwa, Nyaakrom, Nsabaa and- Agona Swedru where he also addressed a rally. On the party's vision for the country, Mr Kyeremanten said when Nana Akufo- Addo is given the mandate, his administration would use proceeds from oil to develop the country to the satisfaction of all Ghanaians.

He said the Kufuor government had fulfilled all its campaign promises and these include the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS), the free primary education, job creation for the youth and the free maternal care.

Mr Kyeremanten re-assured Ghanaians that there was more to be done when the party is given the mandate and called on the electorates to vote it into power to enable it achieve its vision of improving the lot of all citizens.

Nana Akufo-Addo also paid a courtesy call on the chief of the town, Nana Ampen Darko V. A teeming crowd formed around the chief's palace and forced him to address them before calling on the chief.
