CPP Poised to Winning the Upcoming 2010 Elections

25-06-2010
The Upper East Regional Executives of the People’s National Convention (PNC) says it is poised to winning the upcoming elections come 2010. In view of this great expectation, a Regional Executive meeting has been held at Bolgatanga to brainstorm on the challenges of the party in the region and also adopt prudent strategies for the 2010 presidential and parliamentary elections. Members at the end of the meeting made of all the 13 constituency chairmen, secretaries and 2008 parliamentary candidates, identified lack of resources, the party’s inability to launch its national campaign as well as the uncoordinated national campaign team of the party as some of the factors that vehemently affected the performance of the PNC nationally during the last elections. Speaking to Radio Ghana, the Regional Secretary of the Party, Mr. Henry Fatchu, said adequate measures have been put in place to strengthen the party’s research team in order to come out with modern methods of campaign strategies in the upcoming elections. As a step towards the reorganization of the party, the Regional Executives have also endorsed the decision of the National Executives Committee for early congress schedule to take place in November, 30, this year at Sunyani. Mr. Fatchu on behalf of his party executives, however, entreated Ghanaians, particularly the youth who have now attain the age of 18 years to take advantage of the forthcoming voters registration exercise to register since it is the only way that can help them exercise their franchise at the next election slated for December, 2012. He, however, urged all eligible voters to vote massively for the PNC in the forthcoming general elections, so as to help wrestle power from the incumbent NDC. Touching on the economy, Mr. Fatchu said his party in the region appreciates government’s effort to achieving single digit inflation. This, he explained, is necessary in ensuring a stable macro economic growth which could affect the real value for our currency. Mr. Fatchu also reminded government to take a second look at the trade off between inflation and unemployment in its quest to reducing inflation, adding that the challenge if not addressed, could have a serious social repercussion on the country’s economy
