Story: George Folley Quaye, Wa
THE National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper West Region has elected eight parliamentary candidates from the 10 constituencies in the region.
Out of the number, five are incumbent members of parliament, while the rest were elected at separate constituency congresses.
The incumbents who were all retained because they were unopposed were Rashid Pelpuo, Wa Central; Mathias Puozaa, Nadowli East; Joseph Yieleh Chireh, Wa West, Edward Salia, Jirapa; and Alice Teni Boon, Lambussie.
Those elected at congress were Robert Wavei, Sissala West, Maam Rafatu Dubie, Sissala East; and Ameen Salifu, Wa East.
According to the Regional Secretary of the party, Mr Kale Caeser, the primaries for Lawra/ Nandom and Nadowli West, whose seat were occupied by Dr Benjamin Kumbuo and the Minority leader, A. S. K. Bagbin respectively would be held in due course.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic in Wa, he said the NDC was poised to win the Sissala East, Sissala West and the Wa East constituencies that the party lost to the People’s National Convention (PNC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP)
“We want to prove a point that the Upper West is still the stronghold of the NDC and this can be done after we had captured the three seats’ he added
Mr Caesar mentioned that the party was not scared of any opposition from the other parties and promised to match them boot for boot come December 7, 2008 .
He said currently a number of polling station agents were being trained for the reopening of the voters’ register.
He urged supporters of the party to remain steadfast in their quest to woo people to the NDC
