A Number of people have expressed interest in contesting the parliamentary election in the Upper West Region on the ticket of the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP).
So far the aspirants have picked nomination forms from the party’s offices in some of the constituencies.
The constituencies include Lawra-Nandom, Wa Central, Nadowli West, Lambussie, Nodowli East and Sissala West.
Sources close to the party in Wa told the Daily Graphic that the rush for nominations forms was as a result of people’s trust and confidence in the party.
According to the sources, the DFP, having elected a young and dynamic flag bearer, was set to cause an upset in the political history of the country.
“We are preparing feverishly to take the political terrain by storm and I assure you that come August this year you will see our machinery in full gear,” they told the Daily Graphic.
The sources were confident that the DFP would perform creditably in this year’s general election.
Meanwhile, the General Secretary of the party, Mr Bede Ziedeng, who is contesting for the Lawra-Nandom seat, has predicted victory for himself.
He noted that having worked with the people since 1981, he was convinced that as a result of his good works, they would surely vote for him and the DFP.
He observed that the hegemony of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the region was about to be broken and urged voters in the region to remain steadfast and resolute in their thinking.
