The Campaign Manager of the New Patriotic Party 2012 flagbearer, Boakye Kyeremanten Agyarko, has charged the 16-member Ashanti regional NPP 2012 campaign team to get into action immediately and make sure votes from the region during the December polls is enough to hand over power back to the party. According to the campaign manager of Nana Akufo-Addo, in order to win convincingly in this year�s election, the team must make sure the party is able to secure over eighty-five percent of the valid votes in the region. He said he was optimistic that with the crop of personalities forming the campaign team, �it is very possible to achieve that target.� Inaugurating the team at the Great Hall of the Kumasi Polytechnic, Mr Agyarko said: �it is now your duty as a team to explore every opportunity to make sure the voter living in the little cottage in this region understands how crucial it is to safeguard their future by returning the NPP and Nana Addo into the corridors of power.� The regional campaign team, chaired by the regional party chairman, Frederick Freduah Antoh, includes Eugene Antwi, Ayisi Boateng, a member of the Ashanti regional Council of Elders, Isaac Asiamah, MP for Atwima Mponua Constituency, Abena Pokuah and Mr Robert Yaw Owusu Amankwah, former Ashanti regional party chairman. The party has also inaugurated all the 39 constituency campaign teams in the region with the parliamentary candidates expected to lead the respective teams. The first major task of the campaign team is to make sure people, particularly NPP supporters, register massively in the upcoming biometric registration exercise. Mr Boakye Agyarko challenged the team to respect and treat �every available information� with equal attention, while also guarding against complacency to ensure that nothing eludes them in their line of duty. He also charged them to be proactive in their activities and get everyone on board to ensure total victory for the party and Ghana. According to him, the party is confident of victory and is seriously working towards its attainment. �We are confident because our chances are brighter, they are even brighter than in 2008 and we are winning the 2012 election whether the NDC likes it or not,� he stressed. He added: �the NPP is not approaching this year�s election with violence but with the belief that we can make it and we will surely make it not for ourselves but for the good people of Ghana who have suffered needlessly under this incompetent government.� Boakye Agyarko also expressed the party�s readiness to collaborate with the Electoral Commission to ensure free, fair, transparent and peaceful atmosphere during the registration exercise and the elections in December. He charged the EC to be open to all the other opposition political parties in their dealings. �This year�s election is not about violence, insults, vilification and concoctions. It is about issues and character. The NPP will not allow a drop of blood to be shed because of power, as it is being alleged in the NDC news papers that the NPP is planning violence in Election 2012,� he assured. According to Mr Boakye Agyarko, Ghanaians witnessed a better economic growth under the previous NPP government than the present NDC administration, adding that the next NPP government under the presidency of Nana Addo would ensure the country returns to the path of accelerated socio-economic development the NPP was leading it to before leaving office in 2009. Mr Agyarko noted that governments are voted into office to uplift the standards of living of the people, provide social amenities, and improve infrastructural and economic development but not to give them pain and regrets to the people. �The country under President Mills has not experienced this development and Nana Akufo -Addo is the best candidate who can rescue our country,� he maintained. The NPP campaign manager called on NPP supporters, sympathizers and well-meaning Ghanaians to come in their numbers and register when the new biometric registration opens next month. He explained that the biometric voters� register would replace the existing manual register, adding that those who decline to register during the exercise would be disenfranchised. In his view, campaigning by unregistered voters would not help in achieving the party�s desired result of victory in the December polls, hence the need to ensure that all eligible voters in the region are encouraged to register.
