NPP TO REACH OUT TO ALL ELECTORATE — BOTWE (PAGE 17)

Story: A. Kofoya-Tetteh, Koforidua

Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Electoral Affairs Committee of the National Campaign Team, Mr Dan Botwe, has stated that the team has taken the necessary steps to reach out to all those who have just reached the voting age, to enable them register and vote for the party in the December elections.
That, he said, would position the NPP to convincingly win the elections.
Mr Dan Botwe made this known at a press briefing at Koforidua after a training programme to educate the party’s polling station executives on the forthcoming registration exercise, particularly on how best to get to those who had just turned 18.
In all 2,300 NPP polling station chairmen and other executives drawn from all the 230 constituencies have been trained and would in turn educate 100,000 others to man the existing 20,000 polling stations in the country during the upcoming registration exercise and general elections.
Mr Dan Botwe stated that the polling station chairmen and other operatives of the party who would be educated on the ‘dos and don’ts’ of the registration exercise, would have to direct the electorates to polling stations in their areas to make it easier for them to register and vote.
That, he said, had become necessary because some potential voters did not know where to register and vote.
“Although we won the last two elections, no two elections are the same so we are not complacent and will, therefore, reach out to hundreds of thousands of people who have just reached the voting age to position the party to win the December elections”, Mr Dan Botwe stated.
Mr Dan Botwe, therefore, called on all those who had reached the voting age of 18 as well as the party’s supporters to register en-masse and support the party to win the elections.
