NPP Will Remain Focus To Win Election 2012 - Joe Appiah
The Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North
Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Justice
Joe Appiah, has said his party will continue to
remain focused to win the people’s mandate in the
forthcoming election.

“We will tell Ghanaians our programmes and
policies to win the people’s confidence for
victory in both the presidential and parliamentary
elections on December 7, instead of depending on
the formation of any party,” he stated.

Justice Appiah stated this in Accra in an
interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in
reaction to speculations in certain quarters that
the NPP was happy about the formation of the yet
to be registered National Democratic Party (NDP),
an off-shoot of the ruling National Democratic
Congress (NDC).

Ghanaians, he stressed, were very discerning and
had certainly made up their minds by comparing the
abysmal performance of President Mills’ NDC
administration and the positive strides achieved
under former President J. A. Kufuor of the NPP,
which saw Ghana in an unprecedented economic
growth, good governance, respect for the rule of
law and human-centered economic programmes and
policies like the National Health Insurance
(NHIS), National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP)
free maternal care for pregnant women and the
Metro Mass Transit (MMT), among many others.

The NPP’s victory in December, Justice Appiah
posited, would therefore be based on the good
conscience of Ghanaians in choosing between “good
and bad.”

He expressed regret that since President Mills and
his NDC assumed the reins of government, Ghanaians
had seen nothing but the worsening of their living
conditions, an unprecedented amassing of wealth by
state officials and party functionaries, in
addition to the payment of unjustifiable judgment
debts never experienced in the nation’s history.

The much touted single digit inflation which the
NDC government claimed it had achieved, he noted,
was a farce since prices of goods and services had
sky-rocketed, creating harsh economic conditions
for majority of Ghanaians.

Justice Appiah, therefore, urged the good people
of Ghana to show President Mills and his NDC the
exit on December 7, since by all intent and
purposes they had nothing good to offer, by voting
massively for Nana Addo Danquah Akufo- Addo and
NPP parliamentarians for a real change in their
lives.
