Mr. Victor Smith, the Eastern Regional Minister, has appealed to the people of Abuakwa North Constituency to reject political and traditional affiliations and focus on development.
He said they should vote for a true son of the land who has the potential and ability to bring development to the area.
Mr. Smith was addressing supporters, friends and sympathizers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after a keep-fit exercise organized by the minister, who is the parliamentary candidate of the NDC for the Constituency.
The exercise started at about 6:10 a. m., from the Ofori Panin Senior High School (OPASS) junction through New Tafo and ended at Old Tafo.
Mr. Smith said the exercise was also to create awareness that the seat was no more a safe seat for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He said the people of Abuakwa were lagging behind in development because the NPP had taken them for granted and denied them the development due them.
Mr. Smith said the people would compare the development projects he had brought to the area when he is not yet the Member of Parliament for the area with what had been given them over the years.
He assured the people of more projects when voted as the MP for the area and called for peaceful elections devoid of any unacceptable behavior that could lead to violence.
