Bribing Delegates Is Not Part Of Our Modus Operandi – GAME

The spokesperson to the campaign team of President Mills Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) Miss, Barbara Serwaa Asamoah says bribing delegates to vote for President Mills in the upcoming congress of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to elect a flag bearer is not part of its operations.

She discounted allegations being made in some quarters to the effect that members of GAME were moving around influencing delegates with an amount of four thousand cedi and motor bikes to delegates in the regions. ‘’We don’t move around with money or motor bikes to influence delegates there is no iota of truth in that. But you know, you cannot do away with money completely because when you invite people to come and listen to you definitely you have to give them food and transportation, you just can’t leave them like that, but to the extent of bribing delegates to vote is something Professor Mills will never condone’’ Barbara said.

She Tells Radio Gold in Accra that, people are following and supporting the President because they understand and believe in him, understand him and the delegates will vote for him overwhelmingly in the July 9th congress slated for Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo region.

She said, GAME’s strategy is a door- to –door campaign where delegates are met one- on- one to talk to the ten people that matter most which are the delegates, where we speak and explain issues to them and why they must retain President Mills for 2012, apart from that we expatiate the policies of the president. Our regional teams are always on the move to reinforce to delegates the need to vote massively for professor Mills.

The spokesperson to Game Barbara Serwaa Asamoah said, since he became president some two and a half years ago we have not heard any scandal about him, nobody has any issue with his personality, he is God fearing, humble, un-impeachable character, his good works coupled with his leadership style makes him a unique and the ideal candidate among the other contestants. He is a person that Ghanaians can trust these are the reasons why he will win both Congress and National Elections and not because of freebies to delegates or electorates. She indicated that responses from delegates have been overwhelming, as the delegates keep re-assuring the team of their unalloyed believe and confidence they have in the President and that for them president Mills is the man to win the 2012 elections for the party.

Miss Barbara Serwaa Asamoah Hinted that the objective of GAME is the 2012 general elections ‘’we want a candidate that Ghanaians will accept’’ that’s the reason we are supporting him.

‘’He’s been tested, gone through the Mill, Ghanaians have accepted and voted for him and both delegates and electorates will not make any mistake because President Mills will not fail the good people of Ghana.’’ Miss Asamoah said.
