NPP outdoors Polling Station Guards for 2016
The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has
inaugurated the DAZOTA youth group to protect all
polling stations in the Upper East region during
the 2016 general elections.

DAZOTA group secretary Asukuga Adongo George told
Citi News that the group was formed to avert the
occurrence of the alleged widespread
irregularities that characterized the 2012 general
elections.

He said the group will form an effective and
efficient communication force and collaborate with
existing youth groups in various constituencies in
the region and will also adopt available campaign
strategies to help the NPP win the 20016
elections.

Mr. Asukuga said a series of education on election
processes will be conducted for all polling agents
to ensure that all potential irregularities are
corrected before results are finally declared.

Upper East regional chairman of the NPP, Mahama
Adams lauded the group’s initiative and declared
his unflinching support for the group. He
presented a new Honda motor mike at a cost of
about GHC3,000.00 to the group to help the members
operate effectively.

He appealed to the members of the party to bury
their individual interest and work together for
the victory of the party in 2016.

“Even though the party structures may have
pockets of misunderstandings, unity is key and all
well meaning party members’ must devise an
approach of managing all misunderstandings and
organise resources and logistics for effective
campaign for victory in 2016,” he added.

Constituency chairperson for Bolgatanga Central,
Mercy Alima Musah bemoaned the sudden collapse of
party youth and women groups in the region due to
gossips and misunderstanding and the need to
revamp such groups.

She expressed optimism about the NPP wining more
parliamentary seats in the region and eventually
win the ultimate presidential election in 2016.
