Success in all by-elections vindicates NPP

The Ashanti Region branch of the Nasara Club, a social group of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said that the party has been vindicated in its campaign promise to offer the country a better alternative government when it won the by-elections at Bimbilla, Kumawu, Wulensi and Navrongo Central.

The club has therefore congratulated President J.A. Kufuor and Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama and the NPP for doing their best to get the country out of her economic and political woes. A release signed by its general secretary, Hamisu Ibrahim said Ghanaians are now beginning to see signs of hope in the country with the taking of bold and good economic policies in the interest of Ghanaians. The release said Ghana has been given a pride of place, exemplified by the election of President Kufuor as chairman of ECOWAS, pointing out that the Macousi Peace Accord laid a foundation for peace to prevail in Cote d'Ivoire.

It said one can also say with pride that the Accra Peace Accord, which was recently brokered by the ECOWAS under the leadership of President J.A. Kufuor ensured the current peace in Cote d'Ivoire. It added that "In view of these, the Nasara Club in Ashanti Region enjoins Ghanaians to rally behind the NPP government and give their support and co-operation so that together we build the nation."
