President John Mahama has kickstarted his 2016 campaign for re-election in the Western Region.
This comes two clear days after the party launched its national campaign at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium in the Central Region on Sunday, August 14.
The campaign will afford President Mahama the opportunity to inspect some new projects executed by the government namely, schools, markets etc. The president will commission a cold store at New Takoradi.
The Fisheries and Aquaculture Development Minister, Hanny Sherry Ayittey, says the Cold Store project was made possible after an electricity company aided government with a transformer which has been installed.
This she said would “give them the opportunity to get an ice cube in this season to preserve the fish so certainly, the commissioning will be coming on.”
The president’s main target in the region would be to convince residents of Elembelle, and Jomoro, to vote for the NDC in the upcoming election.
He will also address residents of region about the need to use the oil resources very well.
Some political analysts have described the decision by the NDC to start its campaign in the Western Region as strategic. The region has been a swing region for both the NDC and its largest opponent the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
