Campaign Diaries - Eastern Region October 30, 2018 Day 3, 4 and 5 Team Betty visited Afram Plains North, Abetifi, Mpraeso, Nkawkaw, Abirem and Ofoase-Ayirebi constituencies on Day 3 of the Campaign tour of the Eastern Region. On Day 4, we visited Akim Oda, Akim Swedru, Achiase, Asene Manso Akroso, Akwatia, Ayensuano and Yilo Krobo Constituencies. My team and I finally visted Asuagyaman,  Lower Manya Krobo, Upper Manya Krobo, Okere, Akropong and Akuapem South on the final day of our campaign tour of the Eastern Region. We were amazed that party executives were energized and working round the clock to keep the NDC spirit alive in hostile and inhospitable environment of traditional NPP strongholds. The situation where constituency executives travel over 12hours by canoe in order to meet their branches, emphasizes the need to put measures in place to motivate the constituency and branch executives for victory in 2020. My message of Accessible Leadershiphas been well r...

Campaign Diaries - Eastern Region September 28, 2018 Day 1 & 2 Team Betty visited Upper West Akim, Lower West Akim and Nsawam Adoagyiri constituencies on Day 1 of the Campaign tour of the Eastern Region. On Day 2, my team and I visited New Juaben South, New Juaben North, Abuakwa South, Abuakwa North, Fanteakwa North, Fanteakwa South, Atiwa West and Atiwa East constituencies. I delivered my message on the five thematic areas which are: Accessible Leadership; United front for 2020; A motivated and Relevant Grassroot; Women, youth and Zongo empowerment and Making the Party Contemporary with ICT tools. The constituency executives agreed with me on the need to put the right measures in place to ensure that in the foreseeable future each constituency owns a party office. This however requires strategic Leadership and direction which I will bring on board. The constituency executives in the constituencies without sitting MPs bemoaned the lack of resources since they are ...

Campaign Diaries - Volta Region October 22, 2018 Day 3, 4 and 5 Team Betty visited Krachi Nchumuru, Nkwanta North, Nkwanta South, Akan and Buem constituencies on Day 3 of the Campaign tour of the Volta Region. On Day 4, we visited Hohoe, Ho West, Afadjato South, Akatsi North, Ketu North, Akatsi South and Keta Constituencies. My team and I finally visted Ketu South,  Anlo, South Tongu, Central Tongu and North Tongu on the final day of our campaign tour of the Volta Region. My tour of these constituencies brought to bear the infrastructural deficits in our stronghold. I agree with the pervasive view that much more should have been done to uplift the road and transport network throughout the Volta Region. These imperative needs alone provide the justification for the NDC's massive infrastructural development drive. The need for a change in government became even more compelling as I experienced at first hand the terrible nature of the roads in the Volta Region whilst mo...

Campaign Diaries - Volta Region October 20, 2018 Day 1 & 2 My team and I began our campaign tour of the Volta Region by first paying a courtesy call on the Volta Regional Executives. We then visited Agotime Ziope, Adaklu and Ho Central constituencies on Day 1 of the tour. On Day 2 of the campaign tour, we visited South Dayi, North Dayi, Kpando, Biakoye, Krachi East and Krachi West constituencies.  The tour of the constituencies in our traditional "world bank" gave me better perpectives of the challenges our constituency executives face in accessing their branches. Our bane therefore as a party has been how to motivate the grassroots and make them relevant in the party. As National Chairman, I pledge to provide the leadership that would give birth to a motivated and relevant grassroot of the party. I remain committed to a Leadership that would remain Accessible to the party members regardless of their background, a Leadership that would make the party contemp...

Campaign Diaries - Western Region September 16 Day 5 Team Betty visited Sefwi Wiawso, Bia West, Bia East and Bibiani-Anwiaso-Bekwai on the final day of the campaign tour of the West Region. We negotiated some of the worst roads in the forest areas of the Western region and have experienced first hand the challenges the executives go through in accessing their branches. We all agreed that the NDC could not do the same things and expect different results and so there was a pressing need for a dynamic and strategic Leadership. A leadership that would unite our ranks, a leadership that knows, appreciates and will confront the challenges of the grassroots and a Leadership that would be Accessible to the party at all times. My commitment to provide the needed Leadership for Victory 2020 is unquestionable. We can and should strive to make our natural strongholds impenetrable by the NPP. A motivated, committed and relevant grassroot with an empowered youth, women and zongo is neces...

Campaign Diaries - Western Region September 16, 2018 Day 3 & 4 Day 3 of Team Betty's campaign  tour of the Western Region saw myself and my team visit Tarkwa Nsuaem, Prestea Huni Valley, Amenfi East, Amenfi West and Amenfi Central Constituencies. Aowin, Suaman, Akotombra, Bodi and Juaboso constituencies hosted team Betty on Day 4 of the campaign tour. In Tarkwa Nsuaem constituency, I met the only organizer who is a woman in the Western Region. It was heartwarmingly refreshing to see a woman achieve such remarkable heights. This is yet another remarkable feat in our quest for the empower the women and youth in our party. An empowered youth and womem front is very necessary to propel the party to victory in 2020. There should be a pragmatic paradigm shift in the party's effort to empower our youth, women and the zongos. When elected as National Chairman, I pledge to provide the needed Leadership to make the NDC attractive to the youth who comprises of mainly the f...
