The National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer hopeful, Goosie Tanoh has warned delegates in the Ho Central constituency of the Volta Region to not allow themselves to be bought with money to vote for the wrong candidate.
Mr. Tanoh asked the delegates not to be deceived by money or food items by anyone to vote for them to win the primaries rather, they should vote with intelligence to select the right candidate to lead the party into victory in 2020.
“That day do not allow your stomach to think for you,” he echoed.
Mr. Tanoh was speaking to the delegates as part of his 5-day campaign tour of the Volta Region to appeal to them for votes to enable him win the NDC primaries scheduled for February 23, 2019.
According to him, the NDC lost the 2016 elections because it was not being faithful to its founding principles adding that, Ghanaians voted 58.3 per cent for the NDC in 1992 election because they had faith in the NDC but voted 44.4 per cent in 2016 election which represented a drop of 14 per cent in the vote cast between 1992 and 2016.
“We must go and reclaim the NDC of oath which was faithful to its founding principles for which Ghanaians found faith in the NDC and voted for the NDC,” he said.
He also stated that he aimed at empowering the grassroots, building a party that believes in social justice and also expanding the agriculture system to generate industries that will create jobs for the youth.
He added that he will provide affordable health care and a properly managed free education system which will aid in eradicating poverty in Ghana.
Mr. Tanoh said his team was denied access to some constituencies to campaign claiming that act of creating fear and intimidation in the people, thus, denying them the opportunity to listen to other candidates to aid in an intelligent decision on the day of the primaries, is not the spirit of the NDC and grassroots empowerment.
He appealed to the delegates to vote for him on February 23 by thumb printing number 6 on the ballot paper for him the lead the NDC to victory in the 2020 elections.
