The Volta region will be the centre of political attraction this week as the NPP flagbearer Nana Akufo-Addo and the Chief of Staff Julius Debrah move their campaign teams there to canvass for votes.
The main opposition leader’s team will be the first to hit the region largely touted as the NDC ‘World Bank’ from Monday, October 24, and will pitch camp for five days. Mr. Debrah’s delegation is expected to touch base Wednesday, October 26 a few days after his boss John Mahama wrapped up his campaign there.
This will be the second time this year that Nana Akufo-Addo will tour the region – a region for which the NPP has set an agenda of capturing at least three seats in parliament and 30% of the popular vote.
Nana Akufo-Addo will visit a total of 15 constituencies, which will include visits to South Dayi, Kpando, Krachi East, Nkwanta North, Hohoe, Ho Central, North Tongu, amongst others.
An official among the chief of staff’s team said: “We will appeal for a decorous campaign because this is a battle of issues and not war. We’re ready to face them in our stronghold and at the end of the campaign Voltarians will give their verdict.”
Mr. Debrah’s team is made up of old and new generation political politicians consisting of Professor Kwamena Ahwoi, leading member of the NDC and a veteran political strategist and local governance expert, former Minister for National Security, Kofi Totobi Kwakye, Faustina Nelson, member NDC national Campaign team, NDC deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho, NDC National Communication Officer, Solomon Nkansah, and his deputy, Presidential Staffers Adu Asare and Emilia Arthur.
Others are deputy Head of Research NDC National Headquarters, Peter Otukunor, deputy National Youth Organizer, Koby Balon, among others. The team just ended a one-week tour of the Brong Ahafo region.
Mr. Debrah’s campaign strategy involves engagements with grassroots supporters, former DCEs and Ministers, cadres, CDRs, mobilization, members of June 4, Non Formal, former members of 31st December Women’s Movement, veranda boys and girls and other NDC groups.
He will be joined by stalwarts in the region, regional executives and respected opinion leaders to iron out pockets of problems and challenges affecting NDC’s campaign in the region and respond to “some lies of the opposition,” the official added.
Meanwhile, Akufo-Addo has ended a four-day tour of the Ashanti region with a clarion call on residents of the region to rally behind, and vote massively for him and the 47 NPP parliamentary candidates in this year’s elections.
“This year’s election is about Ghana’s future. It is an election we cannot afford to joke with. Kumasi, Asanteman and Ghanaians should vote massively for the NPP, and send a strong signal that Ghanaians are ready and determined to change their circumstances of living,” he said.

With my knowledge in psycho I can see u are doing De bidding 4 de NDC by sending a signal dat we are tribalistic.. Fire burn u.. .Change us eminent
Opinions are like noses, everyone has one. Governance is not about who knows how to win elections? NDC knows how to win elections and so? what do they do for u after they have won the elections? Wise Ghanaians are wide awake and surely they will outnumber those who admire people just because they know how to win elections. Ghanaians will kick out mediocrity out of our political system come December 7, 2016.
If u see a rat running in hot afternoon then some wild ***barred word*** is after it. No matter what NDC do they will lose the elections. NPP will completely win 4 regions and share 2 regions with NDC that will do the trick. Whatever NDC do they will lose.mark it on the wall. we saw it in 2000 and 2008.
FUKING EWES AND NORTHNERS,YOU CAN GO TO HELL,WE CAN COME LOW LIKE YOUR PRIMITIVE BREED OF HUMAN BEINGS.WE ARE PROUD AKANS BECAUSE GOD EVEN SEE US SUPER THAT'S WHY HE GAVE US ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES(E.G GOLD, DIAMOND,SILVER,BEAUXITE,MAGANISE,TIMBER,COCOA,IRON,OIL,ETC)BECAUSE WE CAN MANAGE IT EFFECTIVELY UNLIKE YOU EWES,GAS,NORTHNERS ETC WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE DUTY TO SERVE US AS OUR MAIDS,BYDAY WORKERS IN OUR COCOA FARMS,AND FAECES CARRIERS ETC. ABOMINATION UNDER THE SUN FOR A NORTHERNER(SLAVE)TO RULE US THE PRINCES AND PRINCESS(AKANS).GOD HATE IT AND WE WILL FIGHT TO TAKE OUR RIGHTFUL THRONE TO RULE AND YOU PEOPLE SERVE US. FUUULLLLSSSSS.........NANA WILL COME AND ALL OF YOU WILL GO TO ***barred word*** AND FARM FOR US.
@floating voter,you're right.NDC is good in wining election but NPP is only good in organizing press conferences and speaking big economy jargon which ordinary Ghanaian doesn't understand.Wearing suit and bow tier and parading themselves as super human,which most Ghanaian floating voters hate and consider it as arrogance. NPP HUMBLE YOURSELF AND COME DOWN SO THAT YOU CAN GO UP.GOD HATE THE PRIDE BUT GIVE GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.
I love NDC,you could see how serious they are working hard.They have learnt what happened to NPP in 2008 election because of complicencies and they don't want this to happen to them in this year election. Look at all the big men and every one campaigning in the breath and length of the nation.Every one is working and strategically they are sending their messages and their works to Ghanaians.NPP don't have any strategy,they are just campaigning on harsh economy and increase in unemployment which is common to every nation and government.The unity which has been compromised in NPP is what is going to affect them.President Buhari of Nigeria and his party won Nigeria election last year because of strong unity in the party and disunity in Jonathan party caused them in the poll. I think NDC has taken cue on all these and are working hard which will probable pay them come dec 7. NPP doesn't know how to win election but NDC has election winning mechanism which has help them to stay in power for a longer period.
