He added that the campaign to be embarked upon by the NPP from now till the 2012 general election would mainly be driven by the politics of the community, with polling station executives and electoral area coordinators serving as the nucleus of volunteers in their respective communities who would give their time to support the party to win in 2012.
Constituency executive members will also play an active supervisory role and ensure that everything pertaining to the campaign goes according to plan in the polling stations within their constituencies.
Parliamentary candidate in every constituency will serve as the chairman of the constituency campaign team, whilst the constituency chairman will serve as vice chairman of the campaign team. The chairperson of constituency council of elders will also be a member of the constituency campaign team, together with 5 others to be selected by Nana Akufo-Addo, in consultation with the parliamentary candidate.
The National Chairman of the NPP, Jake Otanka Obeisebi-Lamptey, and the General Secretary, Mr. Owusu Afriyie, also addressed the executive members present.
