NDC Will Sweep All Seats In Volta

The Deputy Transport Minister, Dzifa Aku Attivor, has declared that the NDC in the Volta region is working very hard to ensure that it wins all the parliamentary seats in the region in the 2012 general elections , including the yet to be created constituencies.

“The social democratic orientation of the NDC makes it the most attractive grouping to the masses throughout the country, especially the rural dwellers” she says.

According to her, the numerous social interventions such as the distribution of free uniforms, free exercise books and expanded school feeding put in place by the government has contributed tremendously in improving the lot of many Ghanaians.

The Deputy Minister made the remarks at the Nkwanta North constituency primaries to elect the NDC candidate for the only orphan constituency in the region. She assured the people of the area of the commitment of the government of Prof. John Evans Atta Mills to ensure that the region receives its fair share of the national cake.

“I want to say without any shred of doubt that the Volta region will continue to receive its share of development”.

According to Dzifa Attivor, the Eastern corridor roads which runs through the constituency is a priority programme for the government, adding that everything is being done to ensure its execution.

She also touched on the positive impact of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) assuring the people that its implementation will improve their lot.

The Regional Chairman of the NDC, Kwesi Aboagye, said the signs are on the wall that there is no way that the opposition can win the Nkwanta North seat again, especially in 2012.

He lauded the DCE for the great sacrifice he made by stepping down, adding that it's a sign of maturity and integrity.

For his part, the Constituency Chairman, Alhaji Abdul Anas Anakwa, appealed to the national leadership for support to be able to annex the seat from the NPP.

John Oti Bless, who was endorsed as the NDC candidate for Nkwanta North by popular acclamation after the other contestant , Paul Gyato, who is the DCE, stepped down said he will work hard to unite all interest groups within the party for total victory.

On his part, Paul Gyato said the government has done more than enough for the NDC to win the seat. He said the area has seen tremendous infrastructural development since President Mills took over the reigns of leadership.

He assured the candidate of his unflinching support adding that never will the NPP win the Nkwanta North seat again.

Also present at the function was the Regional Oragniser, Henry Ametefe, Regional Secretary, Simon Viglo, the Regional Youth Organiser, Maxwell Siaw as well as Kwadwo Gyapong, a leading member of the party in the region.
