The National Democratic Party (NDP) has said it will field parliamentary candidates in 22 constituencies in the Ashanti Region in this year’s election.
The party has already picked nomination forms for its candidates in such areas and NDP Regional Chairman James Owusu Ansah has predicted a strong showing for the party founded by former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings in the polls.
He told the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi that its ranks keeps swelling by the day and they remained confident of success at the polls.
He said the party had put together its election campaign team and was firmly on the ground assisting voters to understand why they needed to trust the party with their votes.
The NDP is campaigning on job creation, education, and building and revamping factories.
He said the party, should it be given the mandate to govern the country, would ensure transparency and bring efficiency into the management of the nation’s resources to create wealth and employment opportunities for the people.
Mr Owusu Ansah gave the assurance that factories would be built along the coastal areas to mine salt and add value to the commodity for export.
He said the NDP government would revamp over 60 processing plants set up by the 31st December Women’s Movement, an NGO, led by its standard bearer, Mrs Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings.
He mentioned among these gari and palm nut processing factories in Asuofua, Saaman, and Barekese.
Mr Owusu Ansah rallied voters, especially women, to vote for the NDP, which he said, had better understanding of what their real needs were and how to resolve these.
