Cape Coast, March 29, GNA - The Central Region branch of the June Four Movement (JFM) has accepted Professor John Evans Atta Mills' decision to contest this year's presidential election on the ticket of the NDC and the Progressive Alliance.

In a statement issued at Cape Coast on Wednesday and signed by Nana Akomea, Regional Co-ordinator, members of the movement said they see Prof. Mills as the "most politically marketable candidate within and among the NDC and the Progressive Alliance".

They commended him for demonstrating exemplary qualities of humility and accountability and for his commitment to service to the state. The statement, therefore, called on members of the NDC to endorse Prof. Mills' candidature at the party's congress scheduled to take place in Ho next month.

It also expressed its support for the government's principle of participatory democracy and said that principle has enabled the nation to achieve an appreciable level of social responsibility, economic growth and political stability.
