Open Letter to NPP Constituency Executives

According to the Founder of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), they lost the election right from the onset. However, this does translate into an automatic victory for our beloved New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The 2012 general elections would be a conventional one and desperate time they say call for desperate measures. A further elaboration on the former line before it is blown out of proportion by propagandist is that, the election is ours based on decentralized campaigning and a dedicated leadership willing to go the extra mile without a further gallon.

Several are the moves I have made to contact party executives in every constituency I find myself but mostly to no avail because party offices are always almost lost. The party office should serve as a ground for receiving and mapping out strategies mostly with faithful party people who walk in burning with passion.

My very self, an outgoing Kumasi Metropolis National Service Personnel Association (NASPA) executive and a former TESCON member, currently contracted in Ho has made several frantic efforts to no avail to contact a constituency or regional party executive. The party office was amongst the essential places I had to locate in town in my very first week and have made it a point to be there at least twice a week just hoping it would be opened.

Seemingly but better was the situation in my constituency, Assin North. Such that I offered to open the party office there the first time I had access to an executive, while waiting for national service postings.

Then in Kumasi of all places, where I was posted for national service with a tertiary institution. After seeking and locating the Oforikrom constituency office. All I had for an entire year was “Freedom in Development” because I never met the doors open to have an encounter with the brains behind our great party.

A sequence of enquiries and I have still not been able to pay my dues in the stated constituencies, I have resided in. The party doesn’t need World Bank reserves to win the upcoming election. Just keep the constituency party offices open and we, who have endured more than enough under this incompetent government and want a better tomorrow for our dear nation would work without a dime to strategize and vote them out.

The constituency should serve as the engine of the party at the grassroots and not as a showcase only when people have to pick forms.
NPP: Freedom in Development.

VICTORY FOR NANA - 2012.
