Sunyani, Jan 6, GNA - Mr John Owusu Agyeman, Brong Ahafo Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress, has given the assurance that the party would not witch-hunt members or supporters of the New Patriotic Party in the Region or elsewhere.

"We shall play politics with them for the next four years in a matured way, so nobody should entertain any fears. "We need reconciliation in the country as Professor John Evans Atta Mills (President-Elect) has indicated to be President of a united Ghana," he said.

The Regional Chairman was addressing a press conference organised by the party to express the party's appreciation to traditional authorities, the people, Electoral Commission, the media "as well as all those who helped to make the general election from December 7 to January 2 successful".

Mr Agyeman congratulated Professor Mills for winning the Presidency as well as NDC Members of Parliament-Elect.

He said it was the hope of the party in the Region that with its majority in Parliament and with the cooperation of the minority parties including the NPP, "Professor Mills and his government would deliver the goods so we can have a better Ghana.

"As a party in the Region we shall give the Mills government our total support since without unity we cannot move the country forward," Mr Agyeman stressed.

The Regional Chairman said the NDC had realized that under the NPP the country was politically polarized as almost every State institution was politicized and gave assurance that the NDC government would correct this.

"We shall help Professor Mills to correct this politicization of institutions so that we can live in peace as one people in a country with a common destiny," he said.

Mr Agyeman said the NDC had learnt from its past mistakes "and we shall ensure that the new administration of Professor Mills would deliver to the satisfaction of all Ghanaians".

The Regional Chairman was flanked by Mr Kwadwo Opoku Atuahene, Vice Chairman, Mr Samuel Adjei, Regional Secretary, and other officials of the party in the Region.

In attendance were some ecstatic members and supporters of the party who danced to music provided.
