The NDC parliamentary candidate for Tema West Constituency Hon.

Mr Ofosu-Ampofo who doubles as the Minister for Local Government and Rural Development made the assurance last Friday at his campaign launch which took place at the ‘Sakasaka Park’ in Tema Community 2.

He promised that, the vast development which the constituency has seen under his initiative as an aspiring MP, will continue to reign and will not be influenced by incumbency. He expressed regret at the politics of insult that has characterized the activities of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) saying, he will rather concentrate on bringing more development to his constituency than to engage in politics of insults which he described as unhealthy for the country’s growing democracy. He called on electorates to ensure that the NDC gets a majority of representation in parliament in order to compliment the work of President Mahama. On behalf of President John Mahama, the NDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia who officially introduced Hon.

He urged the constituents to vote for President John Dramani Mahama and Samuel Ofosu Ampofo come December 7 for a massive facelift of the Tema Drydoc and a 100 percent takeover of the Volta Aluminium Company in other to provide adequate job opportunities for the constituents. The former foreign Affairs Minister under the NDC 1 government of Ex President Rawlings, Ato Kwamena Ahwoi, also used the opportunity to correct perceptions that, they are missing in action as far as activities in the party are concerned. He said, they have decided to stay back and advice the young and vibrant NDC leadership to ensure a better Ghana for all.
