The governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has sidelined former President Jerry John Rawlings, and will pay the price for that by losing votes in the Volta Region – the home of Mr Rawlings, Pius Enam Hadzide, an aide to Nana Akufo-Addo, flag bearer of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said.
He told Prince Minkah on the Executive Breakfast Show on Class91.3FM on Monday October 24 that: “The good people of the Volta Region know that the NDC has failed them, the NDC has relegated and ostracised Jerry Rawlings who was one of the main reasons why the Volta Region will vote for the NDC.”
“They know that he has been marginalesd and ostracised … so the reason why Voltarians will vote for the party no longer exists, coupled with the fact that they now know that Nana Addo is a jobs candidate, he is an honest candidate, not corruptible, he is competent, not incompetent and that he will bring a lot of development to the Volta Region, and, so, we expect to meet our target of 30 percent in the Volta Region,” Mr Hadzide said.
Mr Akufo-Addo is heading for the region, stronghold of the governing party for a five-day campaign tour just days after President John Mahama, candidate of the NDC left the region last week.
This will be the second time Mr Akufo-Addo will be touring the region. Nana Akufo-Addo will visit a total of 15 constituencies, including South Dayi, Kpando, Krachi East, Nkwanta North, Hohoe, Ho Central, North Tongu, amongst others.
The NPP has set a goal to capture at least three seats and 30 per cent of presidential votes in the region.

Clutching to even straw to win 2016 elections. To the extent of their candidate standing in front of a "so-called" man of God to en-stool him. Nana has the desperation come to that? After the prayer he should have carried the chair but was rather given the handkerchief the guy was using. Pathetic!!!
How many times has Kuffour joind the campaign trail of Akuffo Addo? Please NPP cry your own cry
Confused NPP, while some of them are advocating for Rawlings' not to join NDC campaign others are blaming the same party. This is how confused they are
who told you? we don't want to use him because we want him to live long. He is the only one we have around to advise us after the death of our beloved late President Atta Mills.
