Ghanaians asked to retain NDC in memory of late President Atta Mills

The Western Regional Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Daniel Darlington has called on Ghanaians to vote for the party if they really love the late President John Evans Atta Mills and the achievements chalked during his administration.

He said the love and unity exhibited by Ghanaians during the demise of Prof. Mills should be reciprocated as they go to the polls by voting massively for the NDC.

The ideals of the late President, he noted, had been pronounced by sitting President John Dramani Mahama who was treading on the path of late President Mills.

Mr. Darlington expressed these sentiments in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after an NDC mini-rally in Takoradi.

He said as a tested and proven leader, President Mahama had brought his expertise to bear on the affairs of the nation in the last four months.

"It is therefore certain that the President will be retained in office to continue to execute the Better Ghana Agenda to better the lot of Ghanaians'', said the Organizer.

Mr. Darlington added that the Mahama-led administration had a lot of interventions for the youth and asked them to campaign massively for the NDC to retain power.

He reminded Ghanaians that the Mills-Mahama led government had not been vindictive as was witnessed in the erstwhile NPP regime because the NDC had not embarked on any agenda to persecute and prosecute political opponents since it took over the reign of government in 2009.

The Organizer expressed optimism that the NDC will win most of the seats in the Western Region due to the rapid development of the area.
