Mr. De-graft Fokuo, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Asante-Akim South, has urged members and supporters of the party to avoid complacency and work hard to ensure resounding victory on December 7. They should continue to loudly tell the success story of the government within the last four years to woo more voters. Mr Fokuo, who is also the District Chief Executive for the area, was inaugurating an NDC youth wing at Juaso. He urged clean and decent electioneering campaign devoid of diatribe and calumny.He said it was important for all to be mindful of the peace, unity and harmony of the society as they struggled for political power and no account should they allow political differences to divide the people and tear the nation apart. Mr Fokuo invited his colleague politicians to denounce violence and acts of provocation likely to trigger needless clashes. He said through the Local Enterprises and Skills Development Programme (LESDEP), Youth in Agriculture Project and other interventions, thousands of jobs had been provided to the youth across the country and more programmes would be rolled out to create employment opportunities. Mr. Alex Ohemeng, the Constituency Chairman, said they had laid a solid foundation for the nation�s socio-economic progress and should be given another mandate to continue with their development agenda. He labelled the free senior high school (SHS) promise by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a mere campaign tool to deceive voters and called for its rejection.
