Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Majority Leader in Parliament, has called on the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to embark on a concerted, deliberate and sustained effort to win a majority of Parliamentary seats in the December polls.
“We need our numbers in Parliament. In the 2000 election, in the Central Region, our President won 19 seats in Central Region, but we won just 10 seats in Parliament. That is why we are having challenges. We don’t want that again under a Bawumia led -Government. Let’s get our numbers and win together for we have done better in every aspect of the economy than any government in the Fourth Republic”, Afenyo-Markin charged the Party when he spoke at the Manifesto launch in Takoradi on Sunday.

He continued: “Let’s finish hard; let’s finish hard; there is a prize awaiting us. And to all Parliamentary Candidates; let me plead with you. Enough of the reconciliation, move on, fight hard, campaign, day and night, go to every household, we don’t have times to settle disputes, fight for this Party the way you fight to save a sister, fight for this Party the way you fight save a mother, fight for this Party. We need our numbers in Parliament
“We have succeeded thus far but we have some few months ahead of us. I want to encourage you to please make your selves available to support the course of Government”, Afenyo-Markin added.
He noted in his speech, the need for the NPP to approach the December 2024 with an unshakable resolve, confident that the brilliant achievements gained and policies proposed in the Party’s manifesto will resonate with Ghanaians and lead s to victory.
“We must also invest in the hard work of planning and implementing a flawless election strategy; a strategy that will ensure victory not just for our flag-bearer but also for our parliamentarians. This victory will ensure that we increase our seats in Parliament, providing the necessary legislative support to bring our policies to fruition. This is not just a goal; it is a promise to the people of Ghana—a promise we will work tirelessly to fulfill.”

He said there is palpable evidence that the NPP has consistently delivered on its promises through unwavering commitment and diligent planning for the better part of the last eight years.
“Let’s not undo the progress we’ve made in the midst of significant global and local difficulties. Let us instead move forward together, building the stable, prosperous, and equitable Ghana we know is possible. I know that the road ahead may not be easy, but with your support and your faith in the vision of the NPP, we will continue the steady progress of transforming Ghana into the icon of Africa we know it can be”, Afenyo-Markin concluded.
