As the country is a few days away from the December 7 polls, members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) should not rest but continue to work and do the right things until the ballots are counted and a winner declared, Acting Chairman of the NPP, Freddie Blay has admonished.
“We are almost there but don’t be complacent,” Mr Blay cautioned members of the party in his address at the last rally of the npp towards the 2016 elections held at the Trade Fair Centre in Accra on Sunday, December 4.
He continued: “Don’t rest until the ballot has been counted and Nana Addo [flagbearer of the NPP] has been declared the winner”.
He told the supporters at the gathering that “within the next three days, convince a neighbour to vote for Nana Addo because every vote is necessary”.
Mr Blay used the opportunity to thank all the supporters of the party who have worked towards the 2016 elections.
In an interview prior to the rally, Mr Blay told Class FM’s Paa Kwesi Parker-Wilson that Ghanaians are no longer interested in a government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) yet the NDC has failed to realise that reality.
“They [NDC] are blind, they themselves are blind and do not see that Ghanaians are fed up with them,” he said.
For him, the NDC is “out of touch” with reality. He was optimistic that this will be confirmed by victory for the NPP on December 7.
He cited corruption as one main issue that has engulfed the governing party which an NPP government led by Nana Akufo-Addo will not condone.
Even though the NDC government prides itself as having embarked on massive infrastructural development, Mr Blay was of the view that: “a greater percentage of the money borrowed [for those projects] went down the drain due to corruption”.
