A group calling itself Nkrumaist Front has through its Upper East Regional Chapter called on supporters of the Convention People's Party (CPP) to vote for Professor Evans Atta Mills and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the presidential run-off on December 28. Speaking at a press conference in Bolgatanga, its Upper East representative, Mr. John Yaro, said after a careful consideration, members of the group in the CPP see the NDC as a compatible partner in terms of ideologies. He said even though the CPP has officially announced its neutrality in the run-off, individuals who reason alike as Nkrumaists, should go out in their numbers and vote for the NDC because it had learnt from its mistakes and could perform creditably when given the mandate to govern. Mr. Yaro said members of the Front firmly resolved to strengthen the rights of all citizens and ensure transparency at all levels of public administration as well as provide the opportunity for the citizenry to participate fully in all decision-making processes at the local and international levels. Madam Juana Mayfair Abebrese, National Vice Chairperson of the Front said the CPP is highly disappointed at the NPP's performance in the eight years it has been in office. "This is especially so in the present circumstances of economic hardships confronting the masses, and so endorsing the continuation of the NPP would be a misplaced priority and suicidal," she added. She said following the grave disappointment in the NPP, "we wish to unequivocally endorse Professor Mills in the run-off election come December 28.” She contended that, “the NDC stood for change, which is similar to the prescription for change being advocated by the CPP, the People's National Convention (PNC) and all Nkrumaists.” She expressed the hope that together they could bring the needed change and development in the country.Source: GNA
