VOTE FOR DFP IS BEST LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS (SPREAD)

THE flag bearer of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP), Mr Emmanuel Ansah-Antwi, has said the best legacy Ghanaians could bequeath to future generations is to vote for the DFP to come to power.
That, he said, had become necessary, since both the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) which had administered the country two terms each had failed to improve the lot of the people.
He said the unfortunate situation was that both the NDC and the NPP had openly declared their intentions to take punitive measures against the other should either of them win the December 7 elections, a development which he said would be suicidal to the country.
The DFP flag bearer said this when he addressed members and supporters of the party at Odumase Krobo in the Eastern Region last Tuesday, during which he introduced Mr Abraham Teye Larkotey as the party’s parliamentary candidate for Lower Manya Krobo.
Mr Ansah-Antwi, who was on the first leg of a tour of the Eastern Region to introduce himself to the executives and members of the party and to thank them for electing him to lead the party to the polls, also called on the traditional authorities at the palace.
He was accompanied by his running mate, Mrs Patience Ameku; the Patron of the party, Dr Obed Yao Asamoah; the National Women Organiser, Hajia Hawau; the National Organiser, Mr Piesie Antoh; the National Education Officer, Alhaji Ismail Bawa, and the Eastern Regional Chairman, Mr Sarfo Kantanka.
Mr Ansah-Antwi asked the electorate to rally behind the DFP to enable it to implement human-centred policies such as subsidy on agricultural inputs, the establishment of agro-processing factories to add value to raw materials and a ready market for both raw materials and locally manufactured goods.
These policies, he said, would create jobs for the people to earn appreciable incomes for their livelihood.
He said although the DFP entered the political arena very late, it had made in-roads throughout the country and gave the assurance that traditional rulers would be roped into its administration, since they were the custodians of the land and knew what projects would be beneficial to the people.
For his part, Dr Asamoah said the DFP was against corruption, insulting political opponents, violence and intimidation and that the party would, within the few days left for the elections, continue with issue-based campaign to drum home its good intentions.
He said the party, which would create a conducive atmosphere for the youth, had also decided to encourage women to take an part in active politics to improve their lot.
Dr Asamoah, who condemned politicians who influenced voters with money or material things, asked Ghanaians not to allow themselves to be influenced by such gestures but to vote for the DFP, which he said was capable of providing the solutions for economic recovery that would enable the people to live decently.
Mr Piesie Antoh said the DFP would spring a surprise and called for peaceful elections, while Alhaji Bawa called on all members and supporters of the party to exercise restraint if provoked on the day of the elections.
Mrs Ameku and Hajia Hawau also addressed the gathering and canvassed for votes for the party.
