NPP pledges improvement in the quality of life

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has pledged to improve the quality of life and strengthen the economy, if given the mandate to govern the nation in the December polls.

Nana Akomea, the party’s Communication Director, said they would bring more efficiency into the management of the economy and aggressively fight corruption to make the situation of the people better.

They have capable, dedicated, well-experienced and a competent team to make things happen.

He said this when speaking at the campaign launch by the party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Oforikrom Constituency in Kumasi, Mrs Elizabeth Agyemang.

Nana Akomea accused the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) of corruption, ineptitude and poor performance and said it had proven undeserving of another term.

He called on the electorate to vote massively for Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo and the NPP parliamentary candidates adding that they should vote rightly on December 7, to put the nation back on the path of progress and wealth creation.

Mr. Kennedy Agyapong, Member of Parliament for Assin-North, urged all Ghanaians to be vigilant on the voting day to prevent electoral fraud and cheating.

He also called on the police and other security agencies to act firmly and decisively against trouble makers, who he claimed, had plotted to disrupt voting in known strongholds of the NPP.

He advised those with the evil agenda to intimidate and frighten the party and its supporters to have a change of heart, since they would never be allowed to have their way.

Mrs Agyemang urged members and supporters of the NPP to accept to work hard and make the needed sacrifices to assure the party of a resounding victory.

He said it was necessary to step up the house-to-house campaign to canvass for more votes.
