Sylvester Mensah takes campaign to Volta Region, calls for level playing field

NDC Flagbearer hopeful, Sylvester Adinam Mensah has begun his “Renewed Hope” campaign in the Volta Region. The tour began on Friday, November 23, 2018 with the flagbearer hopeful meeting and interacting with some NDC delegates in the region. In a meeting with the Volta Regional Executive Committee members at the party’s regional office in Ho, Mr. Mensah officially informed them of his tour in the Region and discussed his vision for the party and country with executives. He seized the opportunity to appeal to the regional executives to provide a leveled playing field to all aspirants, as enshrined in the party’s constitution in order to prevent what was witnessed at the just ended national delegates’ congress. At the just ended NDC Delegates Congress which took place at Trade Fair in Accra, a campaign song of one of the aspirants was sanctioned and played deliberately giving undue advantage to one aspirant over others, a situation, the other aspirants and other party members were unhappy with. The Volta regional executives expressed delight in receiving a son of the region and a member of its finance committee. They thanked Mr. Mensah for some of his contributions in facilitating the work of the party in the region. Sylvester Mensah maintained that his campaign is not about one’s ethnic extraction but more about what gives the party an advantage into the 2020 elections. He advised the region to focus on the number one slot and not to settle for number two as the first slot is what provides greater prospects for the party and country. The campaign team will spend seven days in the region, meeting with delegates and paying homage to major stakeholders. Source: editors.3news.com| Ghana
