Ghana's ruling party says positive about wining polls

Xinhua, August 9, 2016 Adjust font size:

Ghana's ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) declared here on Monday it was positive about winning the general elections in December.

Ahead of the campaign launch Sunday, Campaign Communications Coordinator, Joyce Bawa-Mogtari, told the media that President John Dramani Mahama was ready for victory 2016.

"We have the full complement of all our parliamentary candidates for all the 275 constituencies," Mogtari, who is also a Deputy Transport Minister, stated.

She said the ruling party believed it had the best candidate and the party had put its best foot forward in the electioneering campaign to ensure victory.

"We also expect that Ghanaians will agree with us, and we are convinced that His Excellency John Dramani Mahama indeed deserves a second four-year term."

Both the NDC and largest opposition party, New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been playing the dodgy game, with each other in revealing the key issues they would be campaigning on, while neither party intends to release its manifesto, four months to the elections on Dec, 7.

NDC's official launch is slated on Sunday in Cape Coast, 144 km west of the capital. Endit
