Deliver Central Region to Prof Mills - Mintah

Winneba Junction (C/R), March 26, GNA - Mr. Kofi Mintah, chairman of Central Regional Disciplinary Committee of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has called on members and supporters of the party to work to deliver all seats and majority of votes in the region to Professor John Atta Mills, the presidential candidate of the party, and the party.

Mr. Mintah, a former Regional Chairman of the party, said supporters of the party in other regions would not "forgive us if we fail this time to deliver the region to Prof. Mills."

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in an interview Mr Mintah said the party's chances of regaining power in the upcoming general election were brighter than before but cautioned members against complacency. He said the high cost of living, high transport fares and school fees and the astronomical cost of running private businesses had made a lot of people including some members of the ruling party to get fed-up with the government and were yearning for a change.

"There a lot of goodwill towards the party now than before that we must capitalize on to unseat NPP," he said.

Mr. Mintah said the party could not achieve the ultimate if members did not unite. "This is the time for us to bury all our differences and forge ahead in unity to campaign for votes," Mr. Mintah said.

He appealed to party members to conduct campaigns devoid of personal attacks and insults saying, "Issues must be the theme for our campaign messages."
