Mr Baba Gariba Adam, the newly elected Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Assin Central Constituency has stressed the need to forge ahead in unity to wrestle power in 2020.

Delivering his victory message after the NDC's Constituency elections on Saturday, the 40-year-old Businessman said that was the surest way to save Ghana from the current economic doldrums and better the living conditions of the people.

Mr Gariba Adams called for an end to politics of personal attacks and internal wrangling, which would only go to tarnish the image of the Constituency and the Party.
