Winneba(C/R), Dec. 17, GNA - The presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress, (NDC), Professor John Evans Atta Mills on Tuesday addressed a large crowd of NDC supporters in Winneba to begin his four-day tour of the Central Region.

He is in the region to thank the people for voting for the party and him during the December 7, general elections and also solicit their votes in the December 28, run-off.

Prof. Mills is being accompanied by Madam Ama Benyiwa Doe, National Women organizer and some national and regional executives of the NDC. The presidential candidate had earlier addressed similar gatherings at Agona Nsaba, Agona Swedru, Awutu Bawjiase, Kasoa, and Gomoa Dawuranpong where he appealed to the people to vote massively for him on December 28, to become the President.

Addressing the gathering in Winneba, he told the people to vote for him so that the NDC majority caucus in Parliament can accelerate development.

He advised the people not to sell their voters ID Cards because if they did, they would not be able to take part in the elections. Prof Mills said when voted into power his government would build a strong economy for Ghanaians to benefit.

He said "politicians must leave a legacy of truth so that they can always be remembered by the people they serve".

The MP-elect for Effutu, Mr Mike Allan Hammah, thanked the people for electing him to represent them in Parliament.

Mr Hammah asked them to vote Prof. Atta Mills into power to ensure easy and quick development of the area.

The National Women Organiser of the party, Madam Ama Benyiwa Doe was optimistic that Prof Mills will win the run-off, since Ghanaians are calling for change in government.

She said once Ghanaians have voted for the NDC Parliamentary Candidates, they must also vote for Prof. Atta Mills in the Presidential run-off.
