Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Ms Brigitte Dzogbenuku

PPP running mate confident of victory; Targets 10 seats in Brong Ahafo

The Vice-Presidential Candidate of the Progressive
People’s Party (PPP), Ms Brigitte Dzogbenuku,
has predicted that the party will make a positive
impact in the December 7, 2016 general election.











She said that PPP’s ideals, policies and
messages were so appealing to the electorate that
the party was expecting massive votes in the
December 7 elections.

Ms Dzogbenuku made the prediction in an interview
with the Daily Graphic at Akyem Awisa last week
after attending the annual Odwira festival of the
people of Awisa.

According to her, the PPP is an objective party
and eschews the politics of insults, vilification
and character assassination.

Ghanaians want change

“Ghanaians want a change from the leading
political parties which have at one time or the
other ruled the nation and have realised that the
PPP is the alternative political entity to give
them lasting relief,” she emphasised.

Ms Dzogbenuku said as a social worker who had
worked with the Ghana Aviation Social Centre for
12 years, she would use her rich experience and
credibility to convince a large number of the
electorate to vote for the PPP in the upcoming
general election.

According to her, many girls she had personally
mentored nationwide were also in the field
campaigning for the PPP.

The PPP, Madam Dzogbenuku said, would continue to
grow in size day by day.

She appealed to the electorate to try the PPP in
the December 7, 2016 general election for
Ghanaians to see a positive transformation in
their lives. She said the National Democratic
Congress and the New Patriotic Party governments
failed to do that.

Ms Dzogbenuku said she accepted to become the
running mate of Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom because she
realised that after voting for other political
parties in the past, they could not deliver and
that the PPP’s ideals appealed to her
conscience.

Relatedly, the Brong Ahafo Regional branch of the
PPP has targeted to win 10 out of the 29
parliamentary seats in the region during the
December 7 general election.

“Nobody should take us for granted, since we are
going to cause a stir on December 7 after the
results of the elections have been declared,”
the Regional Vice Chairman of the party, Mr Prince
Kwasi Adumatta, told the Daily Graphic on the
sidelines of a meeting held to strategise how to
win the targeted seats.

Targeted seats

Mr Adumatta explained that the party would contest
the entire 29 seats in the region but was hopeful
of winning the Tano South, Atebubu-Amantin,
Techiman North, Techiman South, Sunyani East and
the Wenchi constituencies, among other areas.

“The political dynamics in the country is fast
changing and those who still consider certain
places as their strongholds will live to regret at
the end of the day,” he said.

“Let the other parties go about making promises
that cannot be fulfilled. We can point out what
our flag bearer has been able to do to provide
employment for people in all districts across the
country”.

Mr Adumatta added that the PPP had come to stay
while its campaign messages had been accepted by
Ghanaians who were fed up with the unfulfilled
promises of the NDC and the NPP.

“Ghanaians are now politically awakened and are
aware of the economic realities of the country and
will not believe in economic successes being
touted by the government,” he said.
