Ho, June 15, GNA - Mr Johnson Asiedu-Nketia, General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on supporters of the party to be wary of detractors who would want to use propaganda to disunite the party.

He said the NDC was the most purposeful and united political party in the country at the moment and urged members to "watch out for attempts by political opponents to use propaganda to break the party".

Mr Asiedu-Nketia said this at a workshop organized by the party for regional organizers and secretaries of the party in Ho on Saturday. The workshop was on the theme: "Implementing the winning formula" and had sponsorship from the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA).

He said issues of the party executive marginalizing Former President Jerry John Rawlings were mere propaganda and advised supporters and sympathizers of the party to disregard such propaganda. He said they should instead concentrate on strategies of campaigning that would bring the party back to political power in 2009.

Mr Asiedu-Nketia said the NDC was convinced of winning the 2008 election "one touch" and advised supporters to focus on polling station and house-to-house interactions rather than constituency rallies. He alleged that MASLOC Loan was being disbursed on political

party affiliation with voters ID cards being collected as collaterals and asked supporters of the NDC to be vigilant before during and after the

election. Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, National Vice Chairman of the party, in a

remark said the party was battle ready to win the December election. He said the party had changed its approach to meet new challenges

in the political front and urged members to "move in that new change" of getting to the people at the grassroots to win the election. Mr Haruna Iddrisu, National Youth Organizer, said the party had declared "operation win your ballot box" at the polling stations and urged all polling station chairmen to give off their best to realize that dream. Mr Iddrisu advised the Electoral Commission to be ICT compliant

and employ image recognition software to weed out multiple voters in

the register. Mr Francis Ganyaglo, Volta Regional Secretary of the party, said the workshop marked the beginning of "good things" for the party. He described the party in the region as "very solid" and assured that it would deliver all the 22 parliamentary seats in the region to the party.
