Nduom running “sustained operation†for 2012 elections
Accra, Nov 26, GNA - The 2012 Presidential Campaign team of the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP), is making around-the-clock crusade seeking to make gains in some swing and strongholds of the main political parties starting with a six-day tour of the countryside.
The party’s Flagbearer, Dr Nduom is expected to hit 12 constituencies in the quest to overtake his contenders in the last weeks of the dead-heat campaign.
Focused on making inroads and gaining grounds, Dr Nduom’s trump card will be his expertise in creating employment for the teeming youth, and meeting the expectations of other sections of the populace, whether in education, healthcare and security.
“We’re going to give you people of Oforikrom Constituency a reason to know that you have wasted your votes on NDC and NPP if you did to vote for them” a revved-up Dr. Nduom told a crowd of 800 at Bodi.
He said the heady campaign was a sign of the PPP’s preparedness to win more seats in Parliament and push the elections to a second round with its presence in the second round.
The PPP in the next 13 days is focusing almost exclusively on its strongholds, where both campaigns believe the race will be won or lost.
Of importance is the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) constituency where Dr. Nduom spent his weekend and attended a festival.
His campaign aides have been working on the ground talking to people, urging Nduom's supporters to go to the polls early to cast their votes and wait for the counting.
Most often at such meetings the aides were seen educating the electorate on how to vote, and urging them to vote for the PPP.
According to the PPP’s Campaign Coordinator, Mr Ato Commey, the party was running a sustained operation with lots of voter contacts.
“voters have to be convinced, in other words, you can’t just build it (a campaign) and assume they (voters) will vote, it starts with the candidate: “We will win this election because of Dr. Nduom, he is a better candidate than the two.”
“Seeing Nduom’s picture on a piece of paper on a wall will not magically turn out votes for PPP, it doesn’t work like that...There needs to be an ongoing conversation about why they should vote for Nduom; about why they should get out and vote at all. That is what we are working at,” he said.
