NDC predicts landslide victory in 2008
Kumasi, Sept 10, Ghanadot/GNA - Alhaji
Baba Jamal, Deputy General Secretary of the opposition
National Democratic Congress (NDC), has predicted that the
Party would win massively in the 2008 general election.
"We are aiming at a first round victory in the elections,"
he said adding that this conviction was based on the
assessment of the recent door-to-door campaign being
undertaken by the Party.
He said the assessment revealed that many Ghanaians were
yearning for the come back of the NDC because of bad
economic policies and leadership by the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) since it came to power.
Alhaji Jamal was speaking at a workshop for NDC ward
executives in the Asawasi constituency in Kumasi at the
weekend. It was sponsored by Alhaji Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka,
Member of Parliament (MP) for the area.
The Deputy General Secretary pointed out that the failure to
find solution to the energy crisis, in addition to an
upsurge in armed robbery, reported contract killings and the
high cost of living were ample testimonies that the NPP has
failed the nation.
He entreated NDC activists to step up efforts at explaining
the Party's manifesto to the citizenry, saying, it was the
only panacea to addressing the nation's socio-economic
challenges.
Mr Daniel Ohene Agyekum, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the
NDC, admonished supporters to shun arrogance, backbiting and
disrespect for the Party's constitution.
He called on them to always engage in activities that would
promote the NDC's interest and development saying it was
"the only viable opposition party capable of giving the NPP
a good run for their money in the 2008 elections".
Alhaji Muntaka stressed the need for NDC ward executives to
unite and work hard in ensuring that the party retains the
seat in the next elections.
