The inauguration of the women’s group, which was held last Saturday, was under the auspices of Professionals for Change (P4C) and the Royal Ladies, another women’s group of the party.
Present at the event were a Deputy National Communications Director of the party, Maame Afia Akoto, the Executive Assistant to the party’s flag bearer, Miss Saratu Atta; and some executives of the Ashaiman Constituency.
Outreach and feting
As part of events for the day, the two groups, together with some of the NPP members in the constituency, went on an outreach to some parts of the Ashaiman municipality where they distributed stickers bearing the name of the party’s flag bearer for the 2016 elections, Nana Akufo-Addo.
The paraphernalia of the party, including branded T-shirts, headscarf and stickers, were given out to some of the residents, amidst dancing to the party’s campaign songs.
They also feted the residents of the area with rice and beans in what they called “Waachefest”. Scores of residents, including children, came out in their numbers to participate in the “Waachefest”.
All-out campaign
Speaking to the Daily Graphic on the sidelines of the event, Maame Akoto said the party was resolute in its quest to explore every avenue, including a one-on-one campaign, to win the elections.
“We are here with the message of hope. We are embarking on a retail campaign that will see us enter the ghettos, the bedrooms, the bathhouses, the shops and every corner to propagate the message to all people because there ought to be a change,” she added.
