Mr Oscar Odoi Glover, New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate for La-Dadekotopon Constituency, has tasked constituency executives to go on serious crusade to educate eligible voters to register when the biometric voters’ registration exercise opens.
He appealed to the youth to move from house-to-house and persuade the people, especially the young electorate, to sensitise them on the need to register and vote for the NPP.
Mr Glover was speaking at a meeting with polling station executives, party supporters and sympathisers to strategise towards this year’s forthcoming election at La.
He said the prevailing economic hardship Ghanaians are going through should incense the youth who have attained the age of 18 to massively register so that they would be able to vote and return the NPP to power to reduce their sufferings.
He said even though he was confidence in winning the parliamentary seat for the area considering his grassroot support “it will not be easy until we all fight to achieve total victory for the party.”
The parliamentary candidate appealed to party executives and sympathisers to bury their differences to ensure success for the party’s presidential candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the NPP as a whole come December 7.
Nii Annang Yaka, Constituency Communication Officer of the NPP called on supporters and members to drum home the current economic situation in the country so as to win their brothers and sisters on the other side of the political divide to join the NPP for a change.
“Our brothers and sisters were deceived by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2008 elections and we need to bring them back into our fold so that the party would chalked more than the 51 per cent mark in the coming 2012 elections,” he added.
He urged all NPP supporters to get involved in the house-to-house campaign dubbed “Operation Elephant Walk” in their communities to solicit votes for the party.
Other personalities who addressed the meeting were Mrs Cecilia Eguakun, Chief Patron of the Constituency, Mr Frank Davies, Chairman and Mr Emmanuel Tetteh, Organiser.
