Ghunney, an executive member of the party, educated polling station leaders who attended the workshop on the party's constitution, saying they could only make meaningful contributions to the socio-economic and political advancement of the party if they properly and critically studied the guidelines of the political party they were following.Mr Kofi Taylor, Effutu Constituency Chairman of the party, called for unity, co-operation and mutual understanding among the rank and file so that together they could come out with the best strategies to win the Effutu seat hands down.Mr Taylor announced that the Effutu constituency executives would organise a special orientation course on electoral procedures early next year for all polling station executives of the party in the area to upgrade their knowledge and skills on laws and regulations governing general elections in the country.He said resource persons for the proposed course would be drawn from the Central Regional Electoral Office, adding that the move is designed to supplement the efforts of the Electoral Commission to conduct free and fair elections.In his opening remarks, Mr Felix Kwei Tagoe, an elder of the party, charged all branch leaders of the party to let the spirit of unity and hard work be their hallmark to enable them to mobilise and attract more members and supporters for the party.Source: GNA
