Tasliman (Ash), Nov 25, GNA - Mr K.T. Hammond, the Deputy Minister of Energy, has urged Ghanaians to vote massively for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), to enable it entrench good governance.

"President Kufuor... promised to offer positive change in the governance of this country and this is exactly what the Government had done."

He said the commitment of the NPP towards good governance had attracted international attention.

The MP advised his constituents to have faith in the Government, adding: "our next four years will bring much improvement in your lives". Mr Hammond said the next Government of the NPP would focus on quality education, private sector development and the enhancement of the economy as enshrined in the Party's manifesto.

He advised the people to desist from all acts that could undermine the success of Election 2004.
