The struggle for votes in the Eastern Region by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is becoming keen by the day as both parties try to undo each other in the region.

In the latest move, wife of vice presidential candidate of the NPP, Samira Bawumia has commenced a campaign in the Region at the same time that President John Mahama is there.

Mrs Bawumia is campaigning in constituencies the President has just left or will be visiting.

Early Wednesday morning, Mrs Bawumia commenced her campaign for the NPP in the Kade Constituency.

She called on the Muslim community to rally behind the NPP because the party has good plans for the social as well as infrastructural development in the Zongos.

She donated 50 bags of cement to the Asuom Islamic Primary and Junior High School (JHS) to rehabilitate their dilapidated school building.

Samira Bawumia said even though President Mahama had claimed that he will fix the roads in the Eastern Region, he used a helicopter to campaign, insulating himself from the pain suffered by residents.

She said if the roads are not good for him then it is not good for the residents adding if the roads were good the President would have used them. 

For a party that has a good showing in the Region, she encouraged the party supporters to push harder for the party to register a 100 percent win at the polls for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the respective aspiring Members of Parliament (MP).

She assured the teeming supporters to have faith in the flagbearer as well as the MP aspirants to work for them for Ghana to be a better place and change their lives.
