Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, Leader and Founder of the Progressive People\u2019s Party (PPP) said at the weekend that the country needs competent and visionary leaders who could turn the dwindling fortunes of the nation around.<\/p>\n
He said various governments had over the years failed and put the country in a \u201crotten state\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the only party standing tall among the rest with the capacity to fix the mess, turn the rot around and propel the country into accelerated development, \u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He called for the election of mayors for the metropolitan, municipal and districts assemblies.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo to UK, New York and Cape Town among others mayors are elected, why can\u2019t we do so in Ghana?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nii Allotey Brew- Hammond, National Chairman of the Party encouraged Ghanaians to end poverty and economic hardship by voting the PPP into power.<\/p>\n

He said the party\u2019s symbol- the Red Sun is an indication of the party\u2019s steadfastness in uprooting corruption from the body politics of the country to reverse the vibrant economy through the use of government\u2019s purchasing power.<\/p>\n
Mr Brew-Hammond, said the PPP has more than 216 party offices and \u201cour mission is to fulfill the wishes and needs of Ghanaians to become a developed nation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The PPP formed in 2012 with the slogan \u201c Awake and Vote for Change\u201d believes in the decentralisation system, hence the need to elect chief executive officers of the assemblies, separation of the Attorney Generals Department from the Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n
The party believes in free compulsory education from the basic to the senior high level, , access to quality health care for every Ghanaian by restoring the state\u2019s responsibility for a clean and healthy environment.<\/p>\n
The national executives who were mainly unopposed were popularly acclaimed under the supervision of Mr Daniel Ameyo from the Electoral Commission.<\/p>\n
