The Crusading Guide

"NPP swings into action...Kufuor to tour regions from next month", is the front page banner of the Crusading Guide". The paper says the NPP is after all, not resting on its oars. Very serious planning towards crowd-pulling campaigns and adoption of result-oriented strategies to unseat the NDC government in the year 2000 elections, have quietly occupied the attention of the party ever since the flagbearer was elected last October.

According to the Crusading Guide, this was disclosed by the party's Director of Communications, Mr Adu Kwabena-Essem, at the NPP head office in Accra. Mr Kwabena-Essem is reported to have said that to prove to members, supporters of the party and the world at large, that the NPP is very much alive and ticking. He said Mr J.A. Kufuor, NPP Presidential candidate, would be introduced to the electorate from region to region, beginning from March. "Whenever the Presidential candidate and the team move out of a particular region, leaders of the party in the region will sustain the campaign by going from town to town and village to village", he is quoted as saying.

According to Mr Kwabena-Essem, a campaign committee is being set up to ensure an effective and sustainable campaign towards victory in the next general elections.
