National Organizer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) party Kofi Adams says the upcoming Talensi bye-election is not a do- or- die affair for the NDC.
According to him, the NDC comfortably has the majority of seats in Parliament, adding that winning the Talensi seat will just be an “add on” for the party.
The Electoral Commission has set July 7th for the bye-election which has become necessary following the resignation of the former NPP MP Robert Nachinab Mosore who was enskinedt as Tongo Chief under the name Tongorana Kubilsong Nalebegtan.
The election promises to be keenly contested between the two leading political parties, the ruling NDC and the largest opposition party NPP, who have former Deputy Director of the Ghana Prison Service B.T Baba and an Nsawam Government hospital worker Thomas Zoanad Wuni as their respective parliamentary candidates.
With few days to go for the election, the constituency has seen intense political activity as high ranking government officials including the Vice President, Paa Kwesi Amissah Arthur and NPP running mate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia have all stormed the area to campaign for their candidates.
The two parties have accused each other of vote buying through the act of sharing of monies, bags of cement and other goodies for the electorates.
The opposition has further accused the ruling NDC of suddenly springing up developmental projects in the area such as putting up bore holes and tarring roads to ensure it wrestles the seat from the NPP.
However in an interview with Fifi Banson on Anopa Kasapa Thursday, Mr Kofi Adams refuted the allegations leveled against the NDC insisting that the party is in a pole position to win the election and does not need to bribe the electorates.
“The good people of Talensi are all witnesses to the huge development the NDC has brought to the area since it assumed power; we are not ensuring these developments just because we want to win this election.”
Mr Adams adds that the NDC is sure to win the seat due to the popularity of its candidate.
