The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has urged voters in the Guan Constituency to punish the ruling party for denying them representation in the Eighth Parliament.

Addressing voters in Likpe in the Guan Constituency to kick start her two-day campaign tour of the Oti Region, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said voters in the area have an opportunity to vote out the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for denying them the right of representation.

She said the ruling NPP has caused so much pain and injustice to the people of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe and Lolobi (SALL) traditional areas, adding the people must respond appropriately on December 7 when they go to the polls.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang was surprised that the NPP could have the audacity to hoist its flagsand put up its posters in the constituency after unjustifiably denying the people representation in the present parliament.

"They turned their back against you and denied you representation for four years and all legal challenges the NDC mounted proved futile. But the time has come, election time has come and you have the opportunity to make amends", she said on Thursday, November 28.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said after denying the people of SALL representation in parliament, the government has also denied the Guan Constituency of developmental projects such as roads, schools, water and health facilities.

She said as a result of the NPP’s poor performance in government, the party is now sharing money, food and other inducements to swindle voters.

Prof. Opoku-Agyemang urged them to accept the inducements from the government but still vote massively for NDC presidential candidate, Mr John Mahama, and the party’s parliamentary candidates to enable the next NDC government to bring development to the area.
