The Progressive People's Party (PPP) respectfully wishes to ask the voters in the Effutu constituency in the Central Region to punish the NDC and the NPP by voting massively against them on 7th December 2012. We urge the voters in the constituency particularly the youth to reject the two parties for inciting them to engage in violent behaviour. The PPP asks the voters in Effutu to vote massively for the PPP and its Parliamentary Candidate Nana Ofori Owusu. The NPP's parliamentary candidate alleges that the incumbent NDC candidate has recruited "macho" men who are not from the constituency to intimidate and disrupt the campaign activities of his opponents. On the other hand, the NDC candidate points his fingers at the NPP candidate for his overly aggressive behaviour and using unemployed youth in town to insult him and threaten NDC supporters. This does not surprise the PPP. It is the same national old NDC - NPP blame game of who is worse than the other being played out at the constituency level in Effutu. It is a well-known fact that the PPP Effutu candidate, Nana Ofori Owusu has been a model of discipline, respect and good demeanor during this 2012 campaign. He has come out tops in all the debates held in the constituency pulling out one solution after another to solve the problems in the constituency. He comes from a highly respected family known for its service to the people in the constituency and has sworn to uphold that enviable tradition. He had pointed to his record of successfully lobbying government ministries and agencies to bring electricity, farmer loans and education facilities to the constituency. On the other hand, the incumbent NDC candidate has been rejected as a monumental failure, a huge disappointment who could not use his status as Minister of State to help his people. Instead, he is accused of only serving his personal needs and that of his close NDC friends. The NPP candidate is considered too boastful and quick to resort to intemperate language with no record of being a selfless man. We wish to submit to the people of the Effutu constituency that this year, they have a real alternative to the usual NDC and NPP mediocrity. They have a real, best choice in Nana Ofori Owusu. Once again, we urge the voters of the Effutu constituency and all Ghanaians to reject the violent, indiscipline campaign of the NDC and the NPP and vote massively for peaceful, purposeful PPP.
