Sunyani, March 12, – A youth
organiser aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Brong-Ahafo Region
has pledged to ensure that the Party wins at least 26 parliamentary seats in
Election 2020.
Currently, the NPP has 20 out of
the 29 parliamentary seats in the region.
But, in an interview with the
Ghana News Agency on Monday, Mr Michael Osei Boateng, the aspirant who is the
Regional Director of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), said the Party would
chalk impressive wins, not only in Brong-Ahafo alone, but other regions as
well.
“This is because President Nana
Ado-Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s government has laid a solid foundation and very soon
Ghanaians will begin to enjoy fruits of it, he said.
He said even though the political
atmosphere was not in favour of the NPP in Election 2016, the Party in the
region managed to add seven parliamentary seats to the 13 that it had, and
predicted a “great doom” for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2020.
Mr Boateng said the
implementation of the Free Senior High School policy, Planting for Food and
Jobs programme, restoration of Nurses and Teachers Trainee allowances as well
as the revival of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) had already made
the NPP even popular and increased its chances of victory in the Election 2020.
“When the
One-District-One-factory (1D1F) and the One-Village-One Dam projects set in,
the NDC would be convinced and understand truly that Ghana could be developed
beyond aid”, he said.
Mr Boateng said youth
unemployment remains a huge national challenge and to address that the YEA had
developed new modules, saying very soon thousands of young men and women across
the length and breadth of the country would be engaged.
He said the government has
created a great opportunity for the members and supporters of the NPP to
intensify campaign and highlight its flagship programmes to convince
particularly, floating voters to appreciate the effort of government to ensure
accelerated national development.
