The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) has given an upbeat assessment of its chances in the coming general election, predicting to win at least 10 parliamentary seats in Ashanti Region.
Mr. Lawrence Appiah, the Regional Chairman, would not mention the constituencies the party was sure to grab but insisted that they “are in for serious business”.

He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi that the PPP was firmly on the ground, adding that, its voter appeal had kept growing.

It had begun the process of electing its parliamentary candidates in all the 47 Ashanti constituencies and was already done with five of them.

These include Atwima-Mponua, Ahafo-Ano North, Manso-Adubia, Obuasi East and Obuasi West.

Mr. Appiah said the party would keep faith with the people and restore the economy to the path of sustainable growth if voted to power in November.

The PPP government would vigorously fight corruption and ensure accountability in the management of the nation’s resources.

State institutions, he said, would be strengthened and adequately resourced to efficiently perform.

He repeated the party’s election promise to separate the Attorney General’s office from the Justice Ministry and the election of metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives (MMDCEs) to make them more accountable to the people.
