It looked as if the entire fraternity of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) had been asked to converge near the party\u2019s headquarters at Kokomlemle, a suburb of Accra, as the Ring Road Central in Accra became an instant beehive of activity with every vehicular movement coming to a virtual standstill on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Their mission? To witness and cheer President John Evans Atta Mills as he picked nomination forms to seek re-election to lead the NDC into Election 2012.<\/p>\n
Not even the lack of a sitting space could deter the thousands of fanatical NDC supporters who leisurely streamed their way to the venue.<\/p>\n
President Mills, who was accompanied by a number of Ministers and Members of the Council of State, was mobbed by a huge crowd as he personally went to pick up the forms at the Party\u2019s headquarters.<\/p>\n
Responding to welcome remarks by party General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia, President Mills reminded his potential opponents that they would have to come together to fight the 2012 elections as one party after the national delegates congress.
President Mills upon picking his forms stated that \u201cwhoever wins would have to build on the foundation that we are laying now\u2026winning is not the end of the road. What we are in politics for is to raise the living standards of the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
He called for a campaign devoid of insults saying \u201cthe campaign is not about who can hurl insults at the fastest rate, who can engage in vitriolic attacks\u2026I would like to use this occasion to wish Mrs Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings well, I would like her to know that like the true sportsman that I am, we will give her a clean fight but at the end of the day both of us will win\u2026,\u201d President Mills said.<\/p>\n
The President is meanwhile launching his campaign at his Osu Kuku Hill office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
