The Volta Region, which is the biggest vote bank for the NDC, saw an improvement in the NPP vote during the 2020 General Elections gaining a seat in Parliament for the NPP for the first time and increasing the Presidential vote by an immeasurable margin.
The NPP inaugurated the Volta Regional Campaign Team today, led by the party’s regional chairman, Mr. Makafui Woanya, and assisted by the Volta Regional Minister Dr. Archibald Letsa as part of the party’s preparation towards the NPP’s Presidential Campaign for the 2024 Election.
Like the regional campaign team in the Volta Region, the party also has similar teams in the various regions nationwide. These campaign teams are to ensure that the party’s campaign message reaches the grassroots of every community to increase the party’s chances of winning the election.
The flagbearer of the NPP has also begun a one-on-one meeting with the various stakeholders of the country’s economic sector. These meetings aim to give an insight into the needs of the various stakeholders and suggestions on how these issues will be solved.
