The
New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been making steady progress in its electoral fortunes
in the Volta region since 1992, said Mr. Ken Kodjo Ayim, Volta regional
organizer of the party.
According
to Ken Ayim, the party in the last election had fifteen percent of votes in the
region, as against eight percent in 1996 and four percent in 1992; a trend he
said is an indication that the Volta region is the future of the New Patriotic Party.
“People think Volta is the weakest for the
party, but while other regions are at their peaks and declining, Volta is still
increasing”, Ken Ayim said and noted that, it is an indication of how
formidable the NPP is becoming in the region.
He
however said the party’s doors are still opened for the good people of the
region to join.
Mr.
Ken Ayim was speaking at a flag-raising ceremony to mark the 21st anniversary of
the NPP at the party’s regional secretariat in Ho on Thursday. Present at the
ceremony were the some executives and leading members of the party in the
region.
He
said the NPP as the biggest the political party in the country since 1992, has
contributed tremendously to the multi-party democratic dispensation of the
fourth republic. He stated the NPP’s 8years in government, led by President Kuffour
brought the numerous social interventions programmes such as National health
insurance scheme, school feeding programme, capitation grant, youth employment,
among others which brought a great
relieve to Ghanaians.
“The
party is so proud of President Kuffour, for the numerous social intervention
programmes, which is without any doubt impacted the lives of ordinary Ghanaians”.
He
also said the NPP is a pacesetter in the Africa, stating that “in Africa today,
NPP has the largest electoral college to elect its leaders”.
Mr.
Ken Ayim further stated that, it is only by divine orchestration that the NPP

affairs of men should judge for themselves”, he said.
