“To me it’s about voters, and I know that Ghanaian voters are very discerning. They can tell the good from the bad so what the NPP is doing is good and they will give Nana Akufo-Addo four more years to do more for the people of Ghana”.

According to him, the voter is the heartbeat of the campaign and not an opposition candidate with their propaganda and for that matter, the party would not be bordered by their rants.

He emphasized that this year’s elections would thrive on what the voter wants and be issue-based to send the achievements of the government to the voter hence, they will do research and polls to inform the electorates what they do as a party.

The members were taken through the contents of the recently launched NPP manifesto, some major achievements of the NPP-led government and ways to communicate them across to sell their message to the electorate.

The members were also advised to be discerning and speak with decorum devoid of insults and unnecessary confrontations to attract more voters to their fold for a one-time victory for President Akufo-Addo in the December 7, general elections.
