The Vice President and flag bearer of the NDC, Prof. John Atta Mills, on Wednesday reiterated his assurance to the nation that the NDC would not use bloodshed to win the election.

He has therefore advised Ghanaians, irrespective of their political affiliations, to exercise the greatest restraint in the run up to next month's polls.

Prof. Mills was addressing separate NDC rallies at Gomoa Nyanyano and Kasoa as part of his four-day tour of the Central Region.

He said the NDC does not believe in bloodshed, adding: "We shall continue to preach wherever we will go and also impress upon others who are not on our side to follow suit",

Prof. Mills advised members of the progressive alliance to desist from the removal and destruction of posters belonging to other parties.

He said at the moment what is expected of every NDC faithful is to intensify his or her campaign to attract more votes for the party on December 7. Prof. Mills reminded Ghanaians of the immense contributions which the NDC government has made for the nation and asked them to retain the party by voting massively for it.

To a request by the chief of Gomoa-Nyanyano, Nana Obeng Wiabo, Prof. Mills said the government would find a lasting solution to the water problem confronting both Nyanyano and Kasoa, as well as the protracted land litigation between the people of Nyanyano and the Bortiano.

He introduced the NDC parliamentary candidates for Gomoa East and the Awutu-Senya constituencies, Mr Richard Annan and Mrs Hanna Serwaah Tetteh-Kpodar.
