A former minister of finance of the erstwhile Kuffour administration and a former Member of Parliament for the Akyem Oda Constituency, Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo has stated that the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission will have no option than to declare the Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo president on December 9 after Ghanaians have loudly and massively voted for change in December 7.
Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo made this known after he joined hundreds of thousands of party supporters and sympathizers to walk through the principal streets of Akyem Oda in what many have described as the biggest political crowd ever to hit the streets of Akyem Oda.
Hon. Yaw Osafo Marfo however was quick to admonish the people not to be complacent and move out in their numbers to vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo and the NPP Parliamentary candidate for the Akyem Oda Constituency, Hon. William Agyapong Quaittoo.
On his part, the NPP Member of Parliament for the constituency, Hon. William Quaittoo pleaded with the supporters to vote very early on December 7 so that they can go round to help get others who have not been able to vote to go and vote and to also go to assist the aged and disabled.
Before then, the Elections and Research officer of the constituency Mr. Kingsley Kwegyir took the people through the voting processes. He then charged the people to be ambassadors of change and to go round to educate people on the voting processes to help minimize the rejected ballot menace.
The Constituency Secretary Benjamin Baiden on the other hand took the opportunity to outline plans and activities of the party prior to the December 7 which include Candle Night possession, all women prayer session, street carnival and a praises and worship night.
