Retail Campaign Will Serve Us Well — Asokwa NPP Secretary.
The Asokwa constituency secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Papa Yaw Asare-Bediako John says the retail campaign as devised by the party would serve it well in the upcoming polls.
According to him, the strategy allows the party to touch base with the electorate in their homes and places of work.
Speaking to the Ghanaian Observer Newspaper Thursday morning on the impact of the Asokwa branch’s campaign, Papa Yaw as the executive is fondly called noted that the campaign is going well for the NPP.
He revealed that the branch has been following its two way strategy and that has been to campaign for its Member of Parliament, Madam Patricia Appiagyei and its flag-bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
OTHER STRATEGIES:
Mentioning some other strategies, Papa Yaw said the campaign team, together with the Asokwa MCE, Chief Akwannuasah Gyimah as well as the MP have toured all the market centers in the constituency.
During these market tours, the Secretary noted that concerns of traders have been taken and responses given by the incumbent MP as well as the MCE to the issues.
Currently, he said the campaign team has started a tour of all religious institutions in the constituency where they interact with the clergy as well as take concerns from them.
The MP, the secretary revealed, has used two weeks to register people on the NHIS scheme and also renewed the cards of those out of date.
The Secretary was hopeful that by the end of November all religious institutions would have been reached with the NPP message.
YOUTH / COMMUNICATION WINGS:
The constituency secretary noted that its youth as well as communications directorate have been immersed in the campaign activities of the party and have made sure the MP and the President are visible on every space or billboard.
As a strategy, he noted that the youth wing has focused all attention on youth groups in the constituency including churches and football groups.
Periodic clean up exercises have also been part of the activities of the campaign, the secretary noted.
Papa Yaw used the occasion to thank all NPP polling stations as well as constituency officers and ward coordinators for their impressive showing and also commended the municipal heads of MASLOC and NADMO for their commitment to the campaign in Asokwa.
