Tamale, Jan.15, GNA- Madam Cecilia Akuerter, an aspirant for the position of Deputy National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has said that she would defend the cause and interest of the footsoldiers of the party if she is elected to the position. She said, she was a cadre who for a long time fought and championed
the cause of the footsoldiers and, therefore, knew their concerns very well
and would be in a position to serve them better. Madam Akuerter was speaking to the press in Tamale on Thursday
prior to the NDC National Delegates Congress to elect new executives to
steer the affairs of the party. She said she had the experience and organisational skills to mobilise
people for the party, and therefore urged the delegates to vote massively for
her. She said she was also a unifier and a consensus builder who would
take into account the concerns of all when dealing with issues. The aspiring Deputy National Organiser refuted claims about the
existence of camps within the NDC, and described former President Jerry
John Rawlings and President Evans Atta-Mills as "Grandfather and father"
