The Minority Leader in Parliament, Dr. Cassiel Ato Forson has cautioned supporters of the National Democratic Congress in the Gomoa Central constituency against what has become known as voting 'skirt and blouse'.
This is a phenomenon where electorates vote for a presidential candidate and a parliamentary candidate belonging to different political parties.
Addressing a gathering of artisans numbering over one thousand at Gomoa Abonyi in the Gomoa Central constituency, Dr. Forson urged them to vote massively for President Mahama and the NDC's candidate, Kwame Deen Yawson to enable them bring the needed development to the area.
He said the area is full of untapped potential which must be developed with the right representation in Parliament when the NDC assumes the reins of government in January 2025.
He therefore cautioned against any decision to vote for any person other than the NDC's parliamentary candidate.
"I am the Minority Leader in Parliament and I am here to tell you that don't make a mistake in voting skirt and blouse in the upcoming election. You have a good candidate and you must vote for him. So he will come and support the good works we are doing in Parliament."
Accompanied by the National Communication Officer of the NDC, Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi, Dr. Ato Forson is on a tour of the Central Region to galvanise support for the NDC's presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama and all parliamentary candidates in the region.
With barely 54 days to the elections, the duo has been holding strategy meetings and engagements with chiefs, identifiable groups, artisans as well as the rank and file of the NDC in the region.
