Tempane NDC launches 2016 campaign

The NDC Member of Parliament for the Tempane Constituency, David Adakurugu, has launched his 2016 campaign with a call on the constituents to renew his mandate for the forthcoming general elections. 

Launching the campaign at Wodyanga, Mr Adakurugu, said within his four years tenure of office as MP, the Constituency had recorded unprecedented development projects. 

He said the construction of a number of school projects, health facilities, market structure, the provision of boreholes and Rural Electrification Projects were part of his initiatives in the constituency. 

The National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament said apart from lobbying and facilitating with other government agencies such as the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Power, he had used his own resources to finance many of the projects. 

He said the Government has initiated many pro-poor policies and programs including considerable physical development projects which were impacting positively on the livelihoods of many Ghanaians. 

Mr. Adakurugu said the NDC government has laid a strong economic foundation for the growth of the country and urged all  Ghanaians to renew the mandate of President Mahama to enable him continue to deliver on his good policies. 

The Upper East Regional Minister, Albert Abongo, said there is the need for unity to prevail among the constituents and entreated also those who feel they are aggrieved to bury their differences for the sake of the party. 

The NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu-Nketiah, who was the guest speaker, called on the members of the party to work hard to ensure that the party wins both the Parliamentary and the Presidential elections in the Constituency. 

He also urged the regional constituency executives and the John Mahama Ladies popularly known as JM Ladies to work hard towards achieving the agenda “fifteen -fifteen” which focuses on ensuring that the NDC party wins all the fifteen seats in the Region. 

He reaffirmed the decision by the party that any member who will be caught campaigning for skirt and blouse vote runs the risk of being dismissed outright from the party. 

He therefore, advised all the parliamentary aspirants who lost in the primaries to throw their support behind the candidates who have been elected and accepted by the party. 

Mr. Asiedu-Nketiah urged the electorates to reject any member of the party who will contest as an independent parliamentary candidate. 

The event was attended by many party executives and supporters in the region and the country at large.
