Ivor Kobina Greenstreet is campaigning for change with a call on the electorate to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Addressing party supporters at Mion, he kicked against the NPP’s one district one factory policy.

He described it as political gimmick and implored the electorate to ignore Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo and the NPP at the polls.

He said the next CPP government under his watch, will revamp what he described as some of the nation’s defunct factories established by Dr. Osagyefo Kwame Nkrumah.

He added that made in Ghana goods would be promoted to boost Small Scale Industries.

Ivor Kobina Green Street reaffirmed the CPP’s commitment to restore the agric sector.

He thereby pleaded with the electorate to massively vote for him and all CPP Parliamentary candidates on December 7.

He introduced the party’s Parliamentary candidate for the Mion constituency, Philemon Nayi Mbayun and asked all Konkombas in the area to vote for him.

The party’s Northern Regional youth Organizer, Mohammed Hafiz told Citi News the CPP targets 27 out of the 31 seats in the region.

He said the party is optimistic of winning five out of the targeted 27 constituencies comprising Kumbungu, Sang, Mion, Yunyoo and Salaga south.

“…We can confirm that the President’s campaign trail is in the Volta Region; and he is starting from Monday; and I want to say that the region is very expectant and is in the mood to receive the President.

“The Volta Region is having a smooth campaign in terms of our commitment to ensuring that we give the President the kind of numbers that he needs to secure the first round victory. I can say that in spite of all those other challenges; in terms of all other candidates who are going on the independent platform, we still have it going very well with us.”

He said the President will among other things also introduce various parliamentary candidates in various constituencies  to residents.

The President has over the past few days been touring some constituencies in the Greater Accra Region, where he addressed a number of issues.

Speaking at a rally in the Ablekuma North Constituency on Tuesday, President Mahama asked Dr. Bawumia to reveal the cost of the cedi re-denomination exercise; saying since the latter was a Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana at the time of the exercise, he should be able to tell Ghanaians how much it cost government to undertake the exercise.

Addressing students of the University of Ghana as part of his campaign tour of the Ayawaso West Constituency, President Mahama also accused the NPP of deliberately painting a crisis picture of the economy, saying that is not the reality on the ground.
