The NPP presidential candidate Mr John Agyekum Kufuor said on Wednesday that there are no conditions attached to the support by the other minority parties for him in next week's run off presidential election.

Mr. Kufuor was addressing supporters of the NPP and the minority parties at Cape Coast as part of a thank-you visit to the people for voting massively for him and his party during the December 7 elections.

The presidential candidate who earlier made a broadcast over the local FM radio station, was accompanied by the flag bearer of the CPP, Professor George Hagan, the deputy national secretary of the NRP, Ms Emelia Arthur and the regional chairman of the PNC, Mr. Newman Acquah. He said the support from the minority parties and the public for the NPP is an act of God adding, "the time has come for Ghanaians to do away with tribal politics, and dwell on politics of development".

He said voting in the run off should not be based on tribal or monetary considerations but geared towards seeking the welfare and development of the country.
