Volta NPP Targets 30% Votes In 2016

The recent tour of the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akufo-Addo in the Volta Region seems to have bolstered the party in the region so much that the regional executives are confident of securing 30% of the valid votes to be cast in this year's general election.

The Regional Chairman of the NPP, John Peter Amewu, in a voice full of confidence, said that the party was also confident of winning three parliamentary seats.

He made the announcement in Ho recently when he addressed pressmen and thanked them together with the chiefs and people of the region for their rousing welcome, support and hospitality during Nana Addo's tour.

In a bid to achieve this target, the regional executives have put into motion a comprehensive strategy dubbed, 'Agenda 3/30' to ensure that  votes Nana garners in the region will secure victory for the NPP.

The Regional Secretary, Jospeh Homenya, said the party's regional executives were solidly on the ground working tirelessly to achieve this agenda.

One key evidence is that the party achieved one of its targets by preventing the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) from adding names of Togolese nationals to the voter register.

He was optimistic that the rank and file of the party in the region were more than ready to work together and focuse in achieving the 'Agenda 3/30' “to give the NDC the shock of their lives.”

The party currently has no seat in the region; thus does not have a representation in Ghana's parliament as the only seat they had (Nkwanta North) was taken by the NDC in 2012. Before that the party used to have another seat in the Akan Constituency, thanks to an independent candidate who aligned himself with the party during the Kufuor administration.

Enthusiasm
Mr John Peter Amewu observed that the enthusiasm and love the Volta Region is developing for Nana is scaring the NDC hence, making some fallacious claims. He asked, “You (the media) were with us, did you see anyone being bused? Change is coming to the Volta Region and the NDC is only afraid.”

He urged people of the region to fully support the NPP and vote for Nana Akufo-Addo to enable him build on the legacy of former President Kufuor.

Mr. Amewu later reminded the Inspector General of Police (IGP) of his promise to investigate the assault on him by one Superintendent Theodore Holormey at Metsrikasa in the Akatsi North District of the region during the recent limited voter registration exercise.
