A parliamentary aspirant of the New Patriotic Party in the Takoradi Constituency, Richard Essuman Addison, has appealed to party supporters to embark on a clean campaign.
According to him, this is the time to sell the party positively as the parliamentary primaries and 2024 general elections draw closer.
Mr. Addison, speaking in an interview on the Western Echo Show about his political journey with Arafat Musah, mentioned that politicians must use their positions to steer changes in their constituencies.
“The plan is to go up there and help the country as a whole. Politics, people say, is a dirty game, and all of that. I feel NPP is beyond that. Like I always say when I’m being interviewed,
I am appealing to the honourable Kobby Okyere Darko and his followers, and Mr. Frederick Kakraba Sam Inkoom and his followers, and I will give a stern warning to my followers that this election has to be very clean; no personal attacks on a person’s business.
Let us go with facts, go with ideas, and sell ourselves positively because the change we want is the change we are,” said Mr. Addison.
“If we want NPP to grow and Takoradi to grow, we need to change certain things. And that is what we are looking at now. If I want to be a minister of state and change things, I need to change things in my constituency, and then I can move up to that, so it begins with us. We need to be the change we want. And we need to start by campaigning on ideas and what we have for Takoradi and the constituency as a whole, ” he continued.
Mr. Addison, among other things, outlined his vision for the people of Takoradi, should they vote for him.
He pointed out that the constituency should be resourced to enable it to work well.
He said, “I’m all about resourcing people. Takoradi constituency, this is what I’ve been preaching; I think the constituency needs to resource itself. Start a business to generate income for its work. The electoral areas need to be resourced to generate income for their work as well.
I have this vision of the party office not closing after elections because that’s where people have to go.
