He made the call at the party\u2019s regional elections on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to Citi News\u2019<\/strong> Eastern Regional correspondent, Appiah Kubi, \u00a0\u201cMr Dua Agyeman pledged to work hand in hand with all the party members to take the region by surprise in the 2016 elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”IMJQsUyZb9QdHOFNXoLvXcqpjGVocC4u”]\u201cHe \u00a0urged every member of the party as well as all floating voters in the Eastern Region to vote for the PPP in the 2016 general elections,\u201d Appiah Kubi added.<\/p>\n

Mr. Fred Dua Agyemang polled 674 votes, while his rival, Mr, David Tettey, polled 516 votes out of the total votes cast.<\/p>\n

Madam Eva Acquah was also elected as the Vice Chairperson of the party, while Mr. Odattey Hayford and Madam Rosina Kofi polled 726 votes and 818 votes to become the Regional Organiser \u00a0and Women Organizer respectively.<\/p>\n

\"PPP<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think we are quiet, we are not quiet, we are building from the ground up and we are strengthening up our legs and arms in the right way and PPP is getting ready to win 2016 elections,\u201dshe said on the Point Blank<\/strong> segment on Eyewitness News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The party in the 2012 elections only managed to poll 182,649 votes representing 1.65 percent.<\/p>\n

The party has since been criticized and deemed unprepared to win subsequent elections.<\/p>\n

But the Leader and Founder of the party, Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, in May, absolved the party from blame, saying \u00a0Ghanaians should blame themselves<\/strong><\/a><\/span>\u00a0for the current economic hardships because they failed to vote for the PPP into power.<\/p>\n
