He intimated that for the NPP to transform the lives of the masses “we have to win in December and vote out the incompetent and non performing NDC administration.”

As a result, he encouraged party followers to give-off their best for the NPP to emerge as victors in the impending general elections, warning that any act of indiscipline will not be countenance by the national executive.
