Kennedy Agyapong addressing NPP supporters at Elmina |
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for the Assin
North Constituency in the Central Region, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, has
cautioned the Electoral Commission (EC) not to employ any diabolic
tactics to rig the December 7 general elections.
Mr Agyapong
alleged that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party had connived
with the EC not to recharge the biometric registration and verifications
machines to its fullest in order to deter voters from voting,
especially at the NPP's strongholds.
He made the statements over
the weekend when the NPP parliamentary candidate for the
Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Constituency, Dr. Nana Ato Arthur,
launched his 2012 campaign.
The launch, which attracted thousands
of NPP supporters from the constituency, was well attended by national,
regional and constituency executives.
Addressing the crowd, Mr.
Agyapong alleged that the ruling party had mobilized some youth who had
lodged at Gemani, a fishing community in the South Dayi District of the
Volta Region and were being trained to act as national security officers
to disturb the upcoming elections.
He noted that the NPP had put in place the necessary strategies to face the NDC who had planned to rig the election.
Mr
Agyapong therefore urged Ghanaians not to be scared of the bad
intention of NDC but have confidence and vote for NPP, the party which
had their welfare at heart.
Mr. Agyapong revealed that the most
corrupt government Ghana had ever had was the Mills-Mahama
administration which had seen old and young ministers looting the nation
for their selfish interest without thinking of the poor Ghanaian.
'See
how President Mahama and Ofosu Ampofo are misusing state resources.
They have ransacked our coffers for their own personal gains and their
small boys like Okudzeto Ablakwa and others are following. We need to
vote against them in this election, else our resources will get lost,'
he said.
Mr. Agyapong said the people of Elmina had voted for the
NDC in particular since 1992, yet they had not seen any developmental
projects to transform the area.
The MP therefore urged people in
the area to vote for the NPP in the upcoming elections to enable them to
reconstruct the deplorable Benya Bridge.
On his part, Dr. Ato Arthur appealed to the electorate to vote for him to continue his massive developmental projects.
He
noted that since the constituency was well noted for its tourist and
agricultural attractions, he would ensure that all the needed trimmings
were provided, with support from the constituents.
