Vote for the NDC to ensure development - deputy minister

Mr. Eric Opoku, Deputy Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, has called on Ghanaians to retain the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in power in the coming elections so that it could continue with the equitable distribution of the nation’s resources.

He said the NDC had the experience to better the lives of Ghanaians and therefore it was important for the electorate to vote for the party on December 7.

Mr. Opoku made the call during a day’s tour to a number of communities including Kwapong, Noberkaw, Sianna and Asuogye in the Asunafo South District of Brong-Ahafo Region to inspect projects, both completed and on-going ones being undertaken by the government.

The deputy regional minister said the government was fully committed to the welfare of the people and that it would continue to put pragmatic policies and measures in place to alleviate hardships in the country.

He charged activists, supporters and sympathisers of the party to embark on the electioneering campaign with decorum and help make it violent-free.

Mr. Opoku reminded NDC supporters that elections were won at the polling stations and thus it was important to be vigilant during the December polls.

He said besides the unprecedented infrastructural development going on throughout the country, the rule of law, freedom of speech and independence of the media had been given full meaning under the present administration.
