NDC will retain all 11 seats in U/West – Julius Debrah

The Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has expressed optimism that the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) will retain all the 11 parliamentary seats in the Upper West Region, in the upcoming December 7 elections.

“My six-day working tour of the region has boosted my confidence into believing that not only would we win all eleven seats; but we will also maximize the votes of our Presidential candidate, President John Dramani Mahama.

“All the traditional authorities I visited acknowledged the fact that the NDC government under President Mahama has brought development to their areas, and this gives me hope for December,” he said.

The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) had two seats in the Upper West Region, but lost them to the governing NDC in the 2012 general election.

The Chief of Staff, who toured the region to campaign for President Mahama who is currently on an international assignment, explained portions of the NDC’s 2016 manifesto to the chiefs and people of the region.

He also took the opportunity to engage the rank and file of the party, visited project sites, and toured constituencies, during which he assured the residents of more development should President Mahama win.

The Chief of Staff had earlier paid courtesy calls on the Wa Naa, Wicheau Naa, Dorimon Naa and the Nadowli traditional council.

The rest were the Nandom Naa, Bulinga Naa and the Kaleo Traditional Council.

He inspected ongoing projects at Doble where a 30-unit market is almost complete, and the about 98% completed community Day Senior High School at Luggor in the Wa East District.

Mr. Julius Debrah was impressed with the achievements of President Mahama as a lot of communities have been connected to the national grid, most roads have been tarred, CHP compounds, nursing training colleges, and water provided for the people.

“I am very convinced that the Chiefs and people of the Upper West Region would retain the NDC for a second term to enhance the economic well-being of the people,” he stated.

Julius Debrah has therefore urged the NDC in the region, not to leave anything to chance, saying “let’s intensify our campaigns, campus to campus, market to market and shop to shop.”

“We have an attractive record of achievement and our manifesto is promising more, therefore go all out to woo more people especially the first time voters to vote for John Dramani Mahama and the NDC,” the Chief of Staff added.
