NPP campaign activists to renergise supporters

THE second batch of campaign activists from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Women & Youth Wing in Accra have left for various parts of the country to rejuvenate and re-energise supporters in the regions to turn out massively to clinch a ‘one touch’ victory for the party in the December elections.
In the regions, the activists would consult widely with local stakeholders such as the regional and constituency women organisers, identify recurrent challenges, resolve party conflicts and educate voters on why the NPP government should be re-elected.
The activists, made up of 100 women in groups of ten, would visit parts of the country including, the Eastern, Western, Northern and Volta regions, with an avowed aim to add at least a minimum of one per cent to the party’s overall percentage in the presidential election.
Dubbed, the “Good Women’s Tour”, the Co-ordinator of the Secretariat, Mrs Leonora Kyeremanteng, said the secretariat which had groups in all the ten regions in Ghana had targeted difficult constituencies, and hoped to “turn them green.”
She noted that the first teams, made up of 36 women, were dispatched to the Upper West, Upper East and the Northern regions.
She said their intention was to penetrate the grassroots and through strategic advocacy win floating voters.
Mrs Kyeremanteng indicated that it had been their long term objective to institutionalise the secretariat to actively promote and implement policies on women and children.
She said the team was also determined to promote gender governance in politics and development to enable them to contribute to national development at the grass root level.
She advised the women to show respect to the regional and constituency organisers of the party to make their campaigns successful.
