Parliamentary candidate of the Tema West Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Dr Raphael Sarpong Tuffour, has charged members of the party to come together, work hard and wrestle the seat from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), come the 2020 election.

According to him, the NPP were too comfortable in Tema, but said this was time for the people to change their mindsets and vote them out.

Dr Sarpong Tuffour said this over the weekend when the constituency organised a walk to introduce the PC to his constituents and to appeal for votes for the December 2020 election.

“Apathy and division can't win an election, and since we are hungry for power we need to let go off all that happened during the primary to elect a parliamentary candidate and fight our common enemy who is the NPP," he urged.

According to him, the NPP has taken residents of Tema for granted for far too long because they have totally failed to develop the city because they the people of Tema will always vote for them.

He disclosed that the party decided to use the walk to campaign because they needed to keep fit for the upcoming political campaigns.

Dr Sarpong Tuffour noted that being a medical doctor, one of the things he would champion when voted as MP would be the provision of quality health facilities in Tema.

The Member of Parliament for Odododiodio Constituency, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, also stated that Ghanaians needed to rescue the country from the clueless incompetent and overstretched Akufo Addo government.

He said the economy of Ghana was in crisis and the only way to save it from total collapse was to vote out the NPP from power, on December 7, 2020.

Mr Vanderpuye disclosed that this year all the MPs in the Greater Accra Region have resolved to walk together to wrestle all the seats from the NPP.

Parliamentary candidate for Okaikoi North on the ticket of the NDC, Ms Theresa Awuni, also tasked the rank-and-file of the NDC in Tema to bury their differences and work in unity to enable voters vote out the NPP who have woefully failed Ghanaians.

“For 24 years, the NPP has clinched on to all the parliamentary seats in Tema, yet there is very little development in TEMA," she lamented.

Other parliamentary candidates who came to support TEMA West NDC for the walk were Okaikoi South, Tema Central candidates amongst others.
