THE New Patrotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya and Second Deputy Speaker, Professor Mike Oquaye, has described the party’s loss of the last general election as a tragedy that has befallen the country.
Prof. Oquaye made the remarks at the launch of Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe’s campaign for the position of Greater Accra Regional Chairman in Ashaiman.
He described the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government as propagandist and one whose ideals and beliefs lay in the propagation of falsehoods that caused disaffection for their opponents.
Continuing, he foretold the demise of the NDC party in the next three years and appealed to NPP delegates to rally behind Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe to ensure a resounding victory for the NPP in the 2012 general elections.
When Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe mounted the platform, he told the teeming party supporters that he chose Ashaiman for the launch of his campaign because of its cosmopolitan nature.
He indicated that the 2012 general election would be a ‘guerilla war’ which needed a dynamic and strong-willed person like him to match the ruling party.
He cautioned that the NPP would not hesitate to quadruple its efforts to get back at the ruling party.
An aid to the ex-Serbian envoy, Titus Glover-Quartey, noted that a resounding victory for Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe would ensure the demise of intimidation in the country’s politics.
Former Finance Minister, Yaw Osafo Marfo, said the NPP ‘s first victory in the 2000 general election was a divine act by God that saw Ghanaians being liberated from slavery.
He appealed to delegates to massively rally behind the retired soldier and medical doctor in order to turn the fortunes of the party around, come 2012.
