Speaking to journalists at Navrongo after picking his parliamentary candidacy nomination form and addressing delegates, Mr. Woyongo said since assuming the reins of power, the NDC have done a lot at improving the lot of the people in the area and it was only proper that the people reciprocate the gesture by endorsing his candidature for the parliamentary slot.

Mr Woyongo who is making a second shot at the seat after missing out in the last elections said, “I am convinced that with the numerous development projects that we have brought to this region in general and Navrongo in particular, we can work together and come 2012, the NDC will be declared winners in the polls”.

He said unlike 2004 when the NDC secured about 6,000 votes, 2008 saw a massive rise to 13,000 votes. He commended the supporters of the party for working tirelessly to help the NDC improved on its fortunes and called on party members to campaign vigorously to ensure a sound victory for the party in the coming elections in order to unseat the incumbent MP, Mr. Joseph Kofi Adda of the NPP.
