Ledzokuku NDC launches campaign
The Parliamentary candidate of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ledzokuku Constituency, Mrs Benita Sena Okity-Duah, has launched her campaign with an agenda of defeating her opponents by over 20,000 votes on December 7.
At the launch at the Teshie Aboma park last Sunday, Mrs Okity-Duah, who doubles as the Deputy Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture noted that the NDC is looking to extend its 10,000 winning margin in the 2012 elections on the back of massive developments by the President John Dramani Mahama-led administration in the constituency.
She noted that the Ledzokuku seat belongs to the NDC and President Mahama will once again win convincingly on December 7 after solving the constituency's long lasting water problem.
Working hard
Mrs Okity-Duah explained that her outfit is working tirelessly in the constituency to win both the Parliamentary and Presidential elections for the party.
She noted that she has achieved 70% of her promises to the constituents and promised to add more when voted again into parliament.
She however admitted that there were concerns of unemployment, education and road construction in the constituency and President Mahama is focused on building more infrastructure to that effect thus the need for the good people of Teshie to retain him.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, Mrs Okity-Duah said "We are focused on retaining the NDC in this constituency with the kind of work we have put in place for the people".
"We are looking forward to extending our lead this time around to 20,000 difference and I urge Ledzokuku to once again prove that the constituency seat is for the NDC by voting massively for herself and President Mahama," she added.
National Chairman
The National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy, who witnessed the launch urged electorates to ignore the NPP and vote massively for the NDC to enable the constituency realise more infrastructural development.
According to him, President Mahama has worked hard to merit another term of office from Ghanaians with his enormous developmental projects across the country.
Mr Portuphy took the opportunity to introduce Mrs Okity-Duah to the teeming crowd and urged them to vote massively for the NDC come December 7 to enable a President Mahama continue with his good work.
