She said the Sunyani East Constituency seat, which had been the stronghold of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), would not be easy to capture but she would surprise the NPP.
Nana Takyiwaa gave the promise at the weekend when she addressed NDC supporters, members and the women executive members of the Sunyani East Constituency at a forum in Sunyani.
She explained that aside the Sunyani East Constituency seat, which is their main target, the women executive members were poised to ensure that the party would secure many of the orphan constituencies in the region.
Nana Takyiwaa explained that the women executive members of the party had devised new methods to reach out to the grass roots, and influence especially floating voters on the need to vote for the NDC.
She said it had re-focused and was sensitising the electorate to the ideologies and philosophies of the NDC, to make especially the younger generation to understand the party better.
The NDC regional women’s organiser reiterated the importance for members of the party to sell its achievements, adding that if they remained silent, the NPP would capitalise on that and credit itself with those achievements.
She advised women in the party to be courageous and use their advocacy and influential skills to attract more voters to enhance the fortunes of the NDC in the 2016 elections.
