Takoradi, Aug. 16, GNA – The New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western Region has expressed its readiness to host the party’s manifesto launch for the 2024 general election on Sunday, August 18, in Takoradi.
Mr Issah Fuseini, the Western Regional NPP Communications Director, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency in an interview on preparations towards the launch, said the venue for the event had been secured and duly decorated with the party’s colours.
He said arrangements had been made in terms of security, saying, “We have been assured by the agencies that they will provide maximum security for us during the event”.
According to him, accommodation had also been booked for some of the dignitaries and delegates who would travel from outside Takoradi to attend the event.
Mr Fuseini said as a prelude to the manifesto launch, the party would hold a health walk on Saturday, August 17, through some principal streets of Sekondi-Takoradi to whip-up public enthusiasm towards the main event.
He said: “The NPP in the Western Region has been very active because we were anticipating this programme before the nation announced it, so we are doing everything possible to make sure this programme is successful”.
“We are not taking this event lightly at all because we believe this will help us to get more numbers from the region in the elections… and maybe when they are making a choice for a future national event, they will remember Western Region to host again”.
Mr Fuseini expressed gratitude to the party’s national leadership for choosing the Western Region to host the event, and said the programme would help to make the party attractive to the electorate in the region and this would garner more votes for us in the election.
He called on NPP sympathisers to come out in their numbers to support the programme to make it a success.
The NPP, led by its Flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, is expected to launch its manifesto going into the December polls at the Ghana Secondary Technical School Assembly Hall, in Takoradi, on Sunday, August 18.
