The Parliamentary Candidate for Wassa East Constituency in the Western Region, Mr. Wilson Arthur has advised polling station executives to be vigilant during voting as elections are won at the polling stations.

He asked them to resist any form of irregularities such as multiple voting, intimidation, manipulation of ballot papers and stealing of ballot boxes.

Mr. Arthur who is the District Chief Executive (DCE) for the area made the call to GhanaWeb's Western Regional Correspondent after addressing NPP faithful and sympathizers at the maiden NPP Constituency Youth Conference held at Daboase in the area.

Earlier, the youth went through a procession in the principal streets of Daboase amidst brass band music and dance hoisting placards which read, "Four More for Nana to do More, Four for Wilson Arthur".

Mr. Arthur said the Assembly had completed a number of developmental projects to better the living conditions of the people.

The NPP Parliamentary Candidate said he was building a Cocoa House from his own coffers to bring Cocobod to the District to boost Cocoa farming activities in the area.

"The Assembly will continue to supply Cocoa farmers with spraying machines", he added.

Mr. Arthur said he had engaged the Aseda Foundation Training Center to equip the youth iwith employable skills to be self employed.

He said the District had secured a second mining license to start quarry at Nsadweso as well as a community mining at Accra town which was captured in the President's state of the nation address and is expected to employ 5,000 workers.

He said the Wassa Brofoyedru-Ateiku road had been awarded on contract to the Justmoh Construction LTD as well as reshaping of 200Km deplorable roads in the area.

He said machines have been taken to the site for the Ateiku palm oil factory to take off.

"The Assembly will also make provision for a mobile clinic van to cater for the health care needs of the people", he pledged.

Mr. Arthur emphasized that that all Communities which have not been connected to the national electricity grid would be connected.
