The Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Godfred Yeboah Dame, has challenged the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to propagate the achievements of the party toward the December 2024 elections to attract more votes.
"We must be bold in terms of propagating all the achievements we have chalked up in the past eight years, and also preach our campaign messages for the good people of Ghana," he said.
Mr Dame was speaking to some journalists in Sunyani last Thursday after he had donated motorbikes and party T-shirts to the Bono Regional NPP to support its campaign.
"Each executive and member of the party must be bold enough to tell the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the citizens what the party has done so that the people of Ghana can vote wisely," he said.
As part of the presentation, he had a closed-door meeting with the 12 parliamentary candidates of the party, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MDCEs), regional executives and constituency chairmen.
Mr Dame explained that it was a good decision taken by the party to go to the 16 regions to exhibit the achievements of the party.
Target, confident
He said the party in the region was targeting eight of the 12 parliamentary seats in the December 2024 general election.
"My minimum target is eight seats and I'm confident and sure that we will get about eight seats in the December 2024 general election," he said.
In the 2020 presidential and parliamentary elections, the NPP and NDC shared 12 seats, with both parties winning six seats each.
Mr Dame said he was confident that the party would break the eight, explaining that the party’s message was clear compared to the NDC message, "which cannot be seen".
He said the NDC had no clear message, explaining the NDC was still struggling to explain how their main campaign message, "24-hour Economy", would be implemented.
Mr Dame said the NPP had resolved all the internal issues or divisions that occurred during the party primaries.
"I'm happy to note that all the divisions in the party have been ironed out. There is unity in the party now. The party is united and stronger to break the eight," he said.
He urged government appointees to equally pay attention and contribute meaningfully to the work of the party.
