Kofi Portuphy, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has urged members, supporters, and sympathisers to pray feverishly for the party and repose their trust and confidence in God for a landslide victory come December 7.

Ms Bright said the NDC, led by President Mahama, has created opportunities to better the lots of the citizenry and pledged to compliment his work in the constituency when given the parliamentary nod.

She promised that the key areas of concern during her first term in parliament would be the improvement in education, health, sanitation, social protection, agriculture, livelihoods and job creation, youth and sports development and creative arts, culture and tourism.
