Amissah-Arthur electrifies his Constituency
Vice President Paa Kwesi Amissah-Arthur yesterday
made a triumphant entry into his constituency
Abura Asebu kwamankese in the Central Region where
he was warmly received by thousands in Moree for a
health walk through Ayeldu, Tetsi, Abura Dunkwa,
Bando, Abakrampa, Asebu, Akonoma and Amosima.

Addressing different mini rallies, Mr.
Amissah-Arthur said government does not and will
not discriminate in the provision of development
projects.

In all the places he visited large crowds poured
out to meet him.

The Vice President said the reception was greater
than what he had in the 2012 campaign, a testament
of the victory ahead for the NDC.

Ending his four-day “Touching Base” campaign
tour of the Central Region with a call on
Ghanaians to have hope in President John Dramani
Mahama and renew his mandate for another four
years.

He appealed to the rank and file of the NDC to
close their ranks and in unity of purpose campaign
vigorously for the retention of the party in
power.

One striking innovation about the Vice President
Kwesi Amissah Arthurs campaign is the touching
base idea of interacting with the people
personally and the sharing of his party branded
caps.

One thing that has become evident in the Kwesi
Amissah campaign so far is that the 60 plus -old
is demonstrating that he still has not lost the
magic that drew the crowds to listen to him.

Indeed, whoever thinks that Mr Amissah Arthur has
lost that magic wand that won the duo elections
for him in 2012 will be making a huge mistake.

On the campaign trail, he has been giving
indications about how he would complement the
efforts of President Mahama to lead the country to
prosperity if he is re-elected.

In all the constituencies that he visited the Vice
President Kwesi Amissah-Arthur called on the rank
and file of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
to discount the opposition NPP Presidential
candidate for the December 7th elections Nana Addo
Danquah Akuffo Addo since has no track records to
show.

He called on the NDC members no to listen to the
NPP but rather intensify their door to door
campaign in the communities to ensure a resounding
victory for President Mahama and the party in
December.

He cautioned them to conduct themselves in
peaceful atmospheres before and after the
elections .And advised against complacency and
work tirelessly until victory is achieved.

The Vice President kwesi Amissah- Arthur further
asked the NDC supporters to target the floating
voters and explain to them that the NDC is a
development oriented party.

He said as they can witness the John Mahama
government has done a lot for the region .in the
area of massive infrastructure development and
would continue to do more hence the need to give
john Mahama another term.

He said continuity is key since others don’t
believe in that and would stall development.
Therefore, a vote for President Mahama and the NDC
is a vote for development.

In all the towns that he visited the chiefs
praised government for the numerous development
projects and the Goodwill of the NDC in the area
of massive infrastructure development that they
have witnessed. They said most of the promises
that the NDC has been activated, while other
projects are going on. He prayed that Ghanaians
conduct themselves in an atmosphere of peace and
before and after the elections.

The Vice president is clearly proving his capacity
to compliment the efforts of President Mahama to
clinch another victory in government and he has
been telling Ghanaians that a solid foundation has
been laid for a massive economic take off.

The Vice President Amissah Arthur’s campaign
strategy revolves around touting the achievements
of president Mahama , especially in infrastructure
and getting the electorate to buy into his
promises for the second time.

Mr Mahama won the 2012 presidential election with
5,574,761 votes representing 50.70 per cent of
valid votes cast while his closest challenger,
Nana Akufo-Addo, had 5,248,898 votes representing
47.74 per cent of valid votes.

The other candidates, Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom (PPP),
64,362 votes ( 0.59); Dr Henry Herbert Lartey
(GCPP), 38,223 votes (0.35); Hassan Ayariga (PNC),
24,617 votes (0.22); Michael Abu Sakara Foster
(CPP), 20,323 votes (0.18); Jacob Osei Yeboah
(Ind), 15,201 votes (0.14) and Akwasi Addai (UFP);
8,877 votes, (0.08) followed in that order.

Sometimes, some of the events ate deep into the
night as large crowds waited to hear from the
President.
