The Chief of Aflao has promised to deliver 100,000 votes for the governing National Democratic Congress and for President John Mahama in the 2016 general elections.

Togbuiga Amenyafiti V said the promise will be in fulfillment of an earlier promise he made before the 2012 election.

According to him he was only able to harvest, 80,000 votes, in the last election, 20,000 less of what he had promised but was quick to reassure the president that, as the world bank  of the NDC, the ruling party would be guaranteed its 100,000 votes in 2016.

He made the comment at a Durbar in honour of President John Mahama who has begun a nationwide thanksgiving tour and a two day working visit to the Volta Region.

The President had early on cut the sod for work to begin on the metro mass bus terminal in the area.

Togbui Amenyafiti was grateful to the president for the project, hoping it would provide ready jobs for the youth in the Municipality.

According to Multi-TV's Gifty Andoh Appiah the chief also requested for  the extension of railway lines and the establishment of other transport terminals in other areas of the Municipality.

The president expressed gratitude to the chiefs and people of the Aflao for their support.

He was quick to admit the challenges the country has endured over the past few months citing the market fires, the election petition challenge, the energy crisis but promised things will get better in the coming year.

The president is due to proceed to Keta and Anloga as part of his tour, Andoh-Appiah reported.
