The National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Tema Central, Ms Ebi Bright, has urged the electorate in her constituency to give the NDC a voice in Parliament in order for the good works of President Mahama to be continued.
She declared that the NDC came from a tradition that granted equal opportunity for all and made sure all could access good education and health care and find an opportunity to make a living.
At the launch of her campaign in Tema on Sunday, she said President John Mahama had proven to be a man of vision and committed himself to developing the infrastructure base of the country.
She added that the provision of infrastructure had laid a solid foundation for the economic growth of the nation.
NDC bigwigs
The campaign launch attracted several bigwigs of the party to the Community 7 Park. They included the National Chairman of the party, Mr Kofi Portuphy; the Greater Accra Regional Chairman, Mr Joseph Ade Coker; the Director of Elections, Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo; the National Organiser, Kofi Adams; Ministers of State such as Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, and Mrs Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong.
The constituency was created prior to the 2012 general election when the Electoral Commission (EC) created some 45 constituencies across the country.
The NPP won the parliamentary battle in the very first election in the Tema Central Constituency by defeating the NDC and other parties to occupy the seat.
No fears
According to Ms Bright, she is not intimidated by the opposition in the constituency and will not allow trepidations to stand in her way in her attempt to snatch the seat from the NPP.
She stated that she stood the best chance of winning the Parliamentary seat for the NDC.
Door-to-door campaign
The NDC National Chairman, Mr Kofi Portuphy, encouraged the youth, especially those who are literate and numerate, to volunteer to be trained as party polling station agents to help the party retain power.
The National Organiser and Campaign Coordinator of the NDC, Mr Kofi Adams, said the NPP had no business campaigning in Tema because their predecessors, the United Party (UP), maligned the late Dr Kwame Nkrumah when he decided to construct the motorway linking Accra to the port city.
“Just as Ghana's first President, Dr Kwame Nkrumah, President Mahama has the mind and vision of a great leader and is gradually laying the infrastructure base and is placing the country on the right pedestal for an economic growth, yet the NPP have gone on the same tangent with their criticisms,” he added.
