Deliver on electoral promises - NDC to NPP

The Eastern Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to deliver on its electoral promises and stop blaming the NDC for their inability to perform.

This was contained in a statement issued by the NDC at Koforidua on Thursday, in reaction to a speech by President Kufour at the tenth anniversary rally of the party in Accra at the weekend.

The statement expressed regret about the President's remark at the rally that, the 20 years rule of the PNDC/NDC government was marked with accidents and inexperience, saying the President should focus his attention on nation building and act as the father of the nation rather than for a section of the country.

The press statement, which was signed by the Regional Organiser of the Party, Mr Bismark Tawiah Boateng, said the NPP's continuous reference to the past NDC government as the cause of its failures shows the ruling party's had no agenda for the country.

The statement called on NPP functionaries to always tell the truth and be sincere whenever they mount the platform to talk to the people since the people were wild awake and would judge them by their performance.
