There was heavy vehicular traffic in Obuasi when the flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor John Evans Atta Mills and his team arrived from Kumasi on their way to the northern part of the Central Region on Tuesday.
They were welcomed by a larged crowd as well as party executives from Kunka, Bogobiri, Obuasi Zongo and Obuasi Central Market. Along the route from Dove House to AngloGold Ashanti Club House at Wawase, the crowds swelled all the way.
The stopover was part of Prof. Mills’ house-to-house campaign to canvass for votes in both the Presidential and Parliamentary elections towards the December elections.
He urged those aged 18 years who did not have identity cards to endeavour to register when the registration exercise began at the end of July.
Prof. Mills urged Ghanaians to vote for the NDC, since they had now experienced life under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government.
He said Ghanaians had seen the difference between the NDC and NPP administrations and expressed the hope that they would vote for the NDC because it was only God who chose kings.
He said he did not accept the state award because he realised it could not unite Ghanaians and added that the exercise was a financial loss to the state.
Earlier, Madam Ama Benyiwa Doe, National Women’s Organiser, had told the people that only a privileged few were enjoying themselves in the country though living conditions in the country before 2000 was better.
She said the NPP had brought more difficulties on the nation and urged the electorate not to be scared or be intimidated but vote according to the dictates of their conscience.
