The National Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party, Hon. Freddie Blay has charged Volta Regional executives, Constituency Executives, MMDCEs, Government appointees, and the entire party in the region to work assiduously towards the realization of agenda: “35 percent of the popular votes for the Presidential Candidate and 5 parliamentary seats in the Volta region.”
He made this call during his visit to the region to ascertain the preparedness of the party and the regional campaign team towards the 7th December elections. He further underscored the importance his Excellency the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo attaches to the growth and development of the Volta region. “This explains the numerous visits by the President after his investiture on the 7th of January 2017”, he said.
Chairman Blay reminded the party leadership of the President’s famous statement that “He and the NPP have decided to marry the good people of the Volta Region, the reason why he has decided to spend more time in the region.”
