Kwame-Danso (B/A), Oct. 18, GNA – Former
President John Dramani Mahama on Thursday assured that the next National
Democratic Congress (NDC) government under his leadership will complete the
Atebubu-Kwame Danso road in Brong-Ahafo.

The former President expressed discomfort that
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government had abandoned construction
works on the 12.5 kilometre stretch that the late President John Evans Atta
Mills’ government started to deteriorate.

He was addressing supporters and delegates of
the NDC at separate meetings at Kwame-Danso and Kajaji to kick start his
five-day flagbearership campaign visit to the Brong-Ahafo Region.

The Former President regretted that the
government was not doing anything realistic to complete the road project, a
situation which had worsened the condition of the road.

Accompanied by former Ministers of state,
Members of Parliament and former envoys, the former President is in the region
to canvass for votes from NDC delegates during the forthcoming congress slated
for December this year to elect a flagbearer to lead the Party in Election
2020.

The streets of Kajaji, Kwame-Danso, and
Atebubu-Amantin turned onto a carnival when the former President and his
entourage arrived in those towns.

Hundreds of supporters and sympathisers of the
NDC gave the former President a rousing welcome, as they waved party flyers and
danced to brass band music.

President Mahama told the supporters that he
was determined to lead the NDC to regain power in the 2020 elections, hence the
need for the delegates to give him another chance.

The former President emphasised that the
various branch executives of the NDC had huge roles to play if the Party could
win political power in 2020.

NDC, he explained was a social democrat Party
that cherished and believed in the principles of democracy and therefore called
for strengthened unity in the Party.

Former President Mahama advised the supporters
of the party to guard against attitudes and tendencies that could cause
intra-party divisions and consequently affect their performance in the 2020
polls.
