Minority Leader chides NDC for failed election promises

Kumasi, May 18, GNA - Mr. Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu, Minority Leader, has criticised the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), for failing to deliver on its election campaign promises and worsening the economic situation of Ghanaians.

He said the "better Ghana man tra" has proven to be an empty rhetoric and a big deception.

Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu was addressing a meeting of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Al-Wahda Club, in Kumasi. Al-Wahda, which translates into English as "unity" is made of a group of supporters of the party in the Zongo community. The meeting that was held on the theme: "Picking up the pieces - the way forward for the NPP in 2012 and beyond", discussed ways of strengthening and broadening NPP support base.

Mr. Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said the NPP was the only political party that could lift Ghanaians out of poverty and end their suffering. He called on NPP members to unite and work hard to enable the party to win wrest power from the NDC in the 2012 Election. Mr. Ahmed Seidu, Chairman of the Club, said the group sought to strengthen the bond of unity among NPP supporters and work assiduously to return the party to power.

He called for clean campaign from those vying for the party's presidential ticket and their supporters, saying, they should avoid utterances that could create unnecessary tension and acrimony. Mr. Seidu said "We should always remember that our party is in opposition and it is important we stay clear of divisions and ensure that we put our house in order ahead of the general elections." He called on Ghanaians to reject the NDC in 2012 for bad management of the economy. 18 May 10
