NPP Women Walk For Change

A multitude of members of the women's wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Thursday poured on some streets and pavements of Accra to show their readiness to support the campaign for change.

The float, dubbed, “Walk for Change,” started from Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange and went along the Kwame Nkrumah Avenue to the Farrar Avenue at Adabraka –  amidst blurring songs from a brass band – and headed for the central business district of Accra.

The event was attended by a number of Women's leaders in the party, including outspoken Hajia Fati, Joyce Zimpare and Kate Gyamfuwaa.

It finally ended at an area close to the Accra Sports Stadium where leaders of the group took turns to address the crowd.

According to Frances Essiam, Public Relations Officer (PRO) of 'Women for Change,' the group is a functional one made up of women in the NPP with a common vision to embark on grassroots politics to sensitize the public on the need to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo, presidential candidate of the NPP.

She added that the group targets market women, youth and other vulnerable groups in urban, sub-urban and rural communities.

“We are all suffering today from the hardships imposed on us by the Mahama-led administration and the way out for us is to endorse a preferred candidate who has a track record for being a good leader,” she emphasized.

On her part, NPP Parliamentary candidate for Weija-Gbawe constituency, Tina Naa Aryeley Mensah, urged the youth to vote massively for the NPP presidential candidate in the coming general election because “he is their best bet for changing lives.”

For her, this is the only way to bring about the much need change for a better Ghana.

She therefore, seized the opportunity to advise the electorate to go to their respective polling stations to check their status in the ongoing Electoral Commission's voter exhibition exercise.

The President of Kayayei Association, Hajia Adisa Zongo Pioneer, gave the assurance that her team was working hard to win the majority of the Kayayei for the NPP, adding that they have no confidence in the Mahama administration.

An octogenarian who spoke to DAILY GUIDE said, “I want to see Nana Akufo-Addo take up the mantle of power before I join my ancestors.”
