Ho, Dec. 22, GNA - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on its supporters in the Volta Region to vote massively in the last push to victory on December 28.

The call was made by a host of speakers at a victory rally held

by the Ho Central Youth Wing of the party at the weekend. The speakers included Mr Fifii Kotey, National Propaganda

Secretary of the Party; Ms Jessie Ekumebu, Volta Regional Deputy

Women's Organizer; Captain George Nfodjo (rtd) MP-elect for Ho

Central; Mr Ludwig Hlodze a Youth Activist and Mr Fred Agbenu,

National President of the Tertiary Educational Institutions Network

(TEIN) of the Party among others. They took turns to stress the need for the Party's supporters in

the Region to shed complacency and apathy and leave nothing to

chance in the December 28 Presidential runoff. Mr Kotey urged supporters of the Party to act as foot soldiers

and organizers in a massive mobilization drive, to get all registered

voters to the polling stations on that day. He said the Party would be relying on its massive support in the

Region to clinch victory in the runoff. Ms Ekumebu said more than 25,000 people in the Region did

not vote on December 7. "Whether rain or shine let us make it a point to vote on

December 28," she said. Mr Hlodze urged supporters, who have some business to

transact in neighbouring Togo to do so, a few days before the

runoff so as not to get stranded in that country as happened during

the December 7 elections, following the closure of Ghana's border

with that country. "Know that your thumbs are as lethal as bullets, a means

for humbling people," he said. Mr Ganyaglo urged the youth of the Party to educate

their relatives and friends on the best way to vote in order that the

Party harnesses all its valid votes. He urged them to be watchful and vigilant during the

various stages of the election that day. They were to ensure that ballot papers given were

stamped by the Election Assistants and did not have any other

marks that might render them invalid. Those who have lost their voter identity cards were also asked

to go to the polling stations to have their identities checked in the

voters' register so as not to miss the right to vote.
