Dumasua(B/A), Aug. 20, GNA – The Sunyani West
Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the weekend raised
30,000 Ghana cedis during a fund raising rally in support of an ultra-modern
office complex.
The Constituency needs GH¢500,000.00 to
complete the project, comprising conference halls, offices and recreational
facilities, which is yet to commence.
Party faithful, members and supporters pledged
roofing sheets and bags of cement among other building materials to support the
project.
The project was initiated by the 28-member
newly elected executive of the Constituency, chaired by Mr Johnson Nketiah.
Members of the executive have already acquired
a four-acre land at Odomase, the Constituency capital, and raised GH¢10,000.00
seed money through individual contributions for the project to commence.
Addressing the well-attended rally held at
Dumasua in the Sunyani West District, Mr Kwadwo Nyamekye-Marfo, Ghana’s former
Ambassador to Algeria, commended the newly elected executive members for their
vision and appealed to all stakeholders of the Party to support them.
He said the constituencies remained the
pillars of the NDC and the Party could make significant impact in Election 2020
if the constituencies were strengthened with logistics, fully furnished offices
and accommodation.
Mr Nyamekye-Marfo advised the supporters to
remain loyal to the Party and unite to intensify the campaign for voters to
understand its ideology.
He expressed optimism that with the high level
of enthusiasm demonstrated by members and supporters of the Party, the Sunyani
West seat, though a stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), could be
captured by the NDC in Election 2020.
Mr Johnson Nketiah, the Sunyani West
Constituency Chairman of the NDC, thanked the Party members and national
leadership for the support.
He said the NDC had 20,000 registered members
in the Constituency, adding that if they remained faithful and pay their
monthly dues of GH¢1.00, the Party would be able to complete the project in few
months.
Mr Justice Samuel Adjei, the former Deputy
Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister, advised the Party members to bury their
differences and forge ahead in unity towards the growth of the Party to enhance
its fortunes in Election 2020.
