Mr Charles Opoku, the National Treasurer for NDP, addressing the regional delegates congress of the party, at Sunyani, said the Party remained the best option for Ghana now, saying both the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC) had failed Ghanaians.
The new executives were elected by a popular acclamation in an election conducted and supervised by the Electoral Commission (EC).
Mr Opoku said the party had Parliamentary Candidates contesting the General Election in five constituencies in the region and asked the executives to work hard and galvanise a strong support base for seats in Tain, Banda, Dormaa Central, Jaman South and Nkoranza South constituencies.
He expressed the hope that the executives would work hard not only to affirm the confidence reposed in them by the delegates, but also lead the party to make significant impacts in the election.
Mr Mensah, the Bono Regional Chairman later told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the hope for the NDP to win political power and some of the parliamentary seats remained higher due to the worsened economic situation of the country.
He said it was only the NDP government that could tackle the depreciation of the Ghana cedi and alleviate the plight of the ordinary citizenry and called on the electorate to vote for the NDP when they go to ballot on December 7.
Mr Guggisberg Asirifi-Young, the Bono Regional Director of the EC who supervised the election congratulated the executives, saying the nation cherished multi-party democracy, and asked the party to remain decorous in the electioneering too.
