The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary hopeful for the Ofoase Ayirebi constituency, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, believes political parties must move from the era where individuals solely financed party campaigns.<\/p>\n

Mr. Oppong Nkrumah\u00a0called for a democratization of campaign financing processes to allow for individuals and organizations who believe in the message of a particular candidate to support with their resources.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show<\/strong>, he said,\u00a0“campaign financing should allow for more support from people who believe in a candidate\u2019s cause so that that candidate does not owe allegiance or obeisance to any particular corporate entity or big man at the top.”<\/p>\n

In view of this, the NPP parliamentary hopeful will tomorrow launch a fundraiser at the Alisa Hotel to solicit funds to support a 16 week campaign in the constituency.<\/p>\n

The funds will go into logistics to facilitate effective campaigning in the constituency.<\/p>\n

“I am trying to raise a lot of resources to go and prosecute my 16 week campaign and be successful in the election; there are villages that you cannot drive into; you\u2019ve got to get down on a motorbike and ride into so you need all those logistics to go there because that\u2019s where the votes are\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
