Alhaji Huudu Yahaya, General Secretary of the party, asked the electorate to forge ahead in unity and vote massively for the NDC candidate. He said the Progressive Alliance of the Egle and the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) and the former independent candidate in the 1996 election have all given their support to the NDC candidate. The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Mohammed Ibn Chambas, urged them not to "throw away their own child whose good works in the past is well known to them."
