NPP executives asked to help organise polling stations

Tarkwa (Western Region) 29 July ?99

Mr Dan Botwe, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on constituency executives of the party to involve themselves in the organisation of polling stations to curb malpractices in the 2000 general elections.

Addressing the Western Regional executive conference of the NPP at Tarkwa, Mr Botwe urged constituency executives to accept the responsibility that go with the organisation of the polling stations and as leaders of the party.

He asked them not to relent in their membership drive, adding that the party would provide the necessary logistics in due course.

Mr Botwe said the NPP would win the 2000 elections if members would work hard enough to transform the goodwill the party is now enjoying among the electorate into reality.

Mr Peter Mac Manu, the regional chairman, said the purpose of the conference was to find out what the various constituencies were doing in terms of membership drive and what problems they were facing preparing towards the 2000 elections.
