Koforidua (Eastern Region) 1st April '99
Koforidua (Eastern Region) 1st April '99 Mr Emmanuel Adu Boateng, New Juaben Municipal Chief Executive, has called on the leadership and members of the ACDRs to work hard to ensure that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) recaptures the two parliamentary seats in the municipality in the 2000 general elections. The NDC lost the Koforidua and New Juaben North constituencies to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 1996 elections. At an election meeting of the New Juaben municipal branch of the ACDRs (Association of Committees for the Defence of the Revolution) at Koforidua, Mr Boateng asked cadres still sitting on the fence to change their stance and get involved in the association's activities. He said, "the ideals of the revolution are still relevant during the current constitutional era." Mr Godwin Tsigbe was elected municipal organiser, Mr Yaw Adu Gyamfi, secretary and Alhaji Alhassan Mahama, treasurer. In his acceptance speech, Mr Tsigbe called for unity and dedicated service from all members to help the NDC win future elections to enable it implement its "laudable programmes".
