Alan promises pick-up vehicles
Dormaa-Ahenkro (B/A), Nov. 12, Ghanadot/GNA- Mr John Alan
Kyeremanten, a Presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) at the weekend pledged to provide a pick-up each
for all the Party's constituencies in the country if he was
given the nod as the presidential candidate for the 2008
general election.
In addition, he said, the constituencies would each receive
an undisclosed amount of money to engage in income
generating ventures to help run the party at the grass roots
level.
Addressing polling station chairmen and party faithful in
Dormaa East and West constituencies at Dormaa-Ahenkro, Mr
Kyeremanten said: "If you don't have money you cannot do
active politics", stressing the importance to motivate foot
soldiers to enable them to work hard in the electioneering
campaign to retain the ruling party next year.
He asked members and supporters of the party not to
concentrate much on the December primaries to elect the flag
bearer but rather to focus attention on the general
election, which he said, was very crucial to the NPP.
"If NPP is not there we cannot elect a presidential
candidate", Mr Kyeremanten said and urged polling station
chairmen to embark on an intensive house-to-house campaign
to explain government policies to woo more people to join
the party.
Mr Kyeremanten earlier paid a courtesy call on the Dormaa
traditional council and gave the assurance that the
government would continue to take advice and counseling from
chiefs in initiating and implementing programmes and
policies.
He said since traditional authorities were the embodiment of
the people, there was the need to ensure regular contacts
with them to know and address the problems facing the
people.
Mr Kyeremanten called on the chiefs to rally solidly behind
him and to help approve his candidature to lead the NPP in
the 2008 elections.
