He has also urged various political parties, trade unions, civil society organisations (CSOs) and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in the country to come together to pursue the vision of President John Dramani Mahama to make Ghana a better place for all.
“Let’s all pursue the vision of the President in order to make Ghana a better place for all, since there is strength in unity towards one goal,” Manly-Spain appealed.
He said there was no way any political party in Ghana could defeat the NDC if unity continued to exist in the party.
“No party can win elections with divisions among its members; we need to work as one people to retain power come 2016,” he advised.
Mr Manly-Spain urged party members to bury their differences and help strengthen the NDC and push the government to deliver “since with a united front, we can deliver the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ as promised by the President.”
Mr Henry Ekow Manly-Spain made the appeal in a statement copied to the Daily Graphic yesterday to rally support for the President and the party ahead of Election 2016.
“We should refrain from politicising national programmes just for political expediency and work in consensus for a better Ghana. We need to work closely together as one people from the same political party in order to retain power come 2016,” Mr Manly-Spain advised.

He said without unity and peaceful co-existence, the NDC could not experience any meaningful development and thus, deliver the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ as promised by the President.
To this end, Mr Manly-Spain urged his comrades not to sit on the fence, but to put their shoulders to the wheel to speed up the party’s development and progress by helping the government to succeed.
Mr Manly-Spain also expressed his appreciation to all the delegates at the just ended regional congress at Dodowa.
He lauded those who shared in his vision of economic empowerment of the constituency and urged them to still keep the faith.
According to him, the time had come for the various stakeholders to put forward proposals and activities that would propel the party to a greater height and desist from engaging in activities that would drag the image of the party into disrepute.
In addition, he said, the cohesion of the country would be ensure if politicians desisted from politicising national issues and adoped a consensus rather than engaging in tribal politics.
