The Greater Accra Regional Communication Director of the NPP, Michael Ampong is optimistic the opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP] will sweep not less than 16 out of the 27 parliamentary seats in the Greater Accra Region in the December polls. Speaking on Multi TV’s political talk show, Minority Caucus, Mr. Ampong indicated that the parliamentary votes in the Greater Accra region this year, will be in favour of the NPP indicating that the NDC can only be sure of retaining only 8 of its current 19 Parliamentary seats occupied by indigenous Gas. Describing the region as the biggest cosmopolitan swing region, Mr. Ampong predicted that 19 seats in the region will fall to the NPP. The NPP once swept 16 parliamentary seats in the Greater Accra Region during the tenure of the Kufuor Administration. The trend however reversed with the NDC nearly sweeping all the seats during the 2008 elections. But according to Michael Ampong, the trend is about to change again in favour of the NPP, due to President Mills’ inability to fulfil the promises he made to the people of the Greater Accra Region, a development he indicated has “killed” the NDC’s ambition in the region. He said the NDC will not enjoy the overwhelming sweep of most seats in the Greater Accra Region since it has run out of campaign messages and has fallen into the pit it dug for the NPP in the previous election. Alhaji Yusif Fofana, the NPP’s parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso East constituency who was also on the show, indicated that the NDC is losing grounds in the Zongo communities especially in Nima which is believed to be one of its strongholds in the region. The show could not end without the panel touching on the so called ‘Kenkey Politics’ which has become a major propaganda issue for the two main political parties. According to the panel, the cost of a ball of kenkey will matter in the upcoming polls in December.
