Nana Akufu-Addo predicts landslide
victory for NPP
Koforidua, (E/R), June 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP),
on Friday predicted a landslide victory for the party in the
forthcoming presidential and parliamentary elections.
He apologised to party members and supporters who have been
hurt one way or the other, especially parliamentary
aspirants who lost the NPP primaries or were disqualified by
the National Executive Committee of the party and urged them
to burry their differences and rally behind the party for a
massive victory in December.
Nana Akufo-Addo rendered the apology when he addressed NPP
supporters and sympathizers at the NPP Eastern Regional
solidarity conference at Koforidua.
He said at the moment NPP needed absolute unity to move the
party forward to victory.
Nana Akufo-Addo said if the party united, there was no
political party in the country that could withstand NPP.
“If you do not win to become a member of parliament or
executive member of the party, that does not mean you cannot
serve the party again”, Nana Akufo-Addo stressed.
He said he was encouraged by the response of the people in
the areas he had visited and urged the NPP supporters to
work harder to ensure that the massive response was
translated into votes in December.
Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku, NPP National Campaign Manager, said
the eight years achievements of President John Agyekum
Kufuor were far better than the nineteen years rule of
former President Rawlings and his two governments.
He said the people have embraced the National Health
Insurance Scheme policy the Capitation Grant, School Feeding
Programme and mass transportation introduced by government
towards improving the living standards of the people.
Mr Yaw Sarfo Maafo, former minister for finance, cautioned
Ghanaians to be wary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
propaganda aimed at destroying the NPP government.
Mr Yaw Gyekye Amoabeng, Eastern Regional chairman of the
party, predicted that the party would win not less than 26
seats in the region in the 2008 Election.
Other speakers included Mr Kwabena Agyepong, former press
secretary to the president, Mr Emmanuel Agyarko,
parliamentary candidate for the lower Manya and Ms Susana
Mensah former Eastern Regional Deputy Minster.
The NPP Parliamentary candidates in the region were
introduced to the supporters.
