[contextly_sidebar id=”rWwlfeVOqtsBRmPmjpqpsgfp6OoAEWbn”]The campaign, christened, \u201cOperation drop Haruna Iddrisu in 2016,\u201d aims at discrediting the Tamale South MP as means of unseating him in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should tell them, they were voting according to Abudu and Andani and I am telling you this time is a thing of the past, so let\u2019s get up and work very hard to take this seat from the NDC and Insha Allah we are going to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hajia Amama challenged NPP youth in the Tamale South constituency to embark on door to door campaigns.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaruna is not bringing any development to this constituency and why are we still voting for him when we have competent people who can do the work better than him: this is the time, in fact if we are able to take this seat from the NDC, I am telling you the whole world will recognize Tamale South.\u201d<\/p>\n
She further accused Haruna Iddrisu of vote buying during elections.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLooking at things Haruna is not doing anything: he only comes to buy some few items for them, tell them lies and at the end of the day they go and vote for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Vociferous Bugri Naabu<\/strong> According to him, the 2012 landmark election petitioned exposed the NDC\u2019s \u201crigging\u201d machinery and warned that such history will not repeat itself in 20016.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cNDC have never won any elections, they always steal the elections: 2008 and 20012 they stole and when we went to the court evidence was there but they said elections are won at the polling stations.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cSo let us make sure that our boxes are protected well so that at the end of the day the elections will be declared at the polling stations,\u201d Naabu remarked.<\/p>\n He commended the Tamale South NPP executives for launching the early campaigns and urged other party executives in the region to follow suit.<\/p>\n Daniel Bugri Naabu disclosed the party\u2019s intention to mount check points at all the entry points to Ghana before and during the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are aware very well that the NDC have been around the border areas: Tatale, Sankansi and Mognori to recruit some foreigners to come and vote on the Election Day.\u201d<\/p>\n He called the bluff of the NDC who are asking the NPP for solutions to fix the nation\u2019s ailing economy and the power crisis.<\/p>\n NPP regional Secretary<\/strong> He mentioned the construction of the Bilpela road, the Tamale Girls Senior High School, the Tamale Water expansion project and the Kukuo drainage system as some of the numerous projects executed by the NPP former MP for Tamale South, the late Alhaji Mustapha Ali Iddris.<\/p>\n He accused government of collapsing the National Health Insurance Scheme and posited that the NHIS diagnostic card had been rendered useless.<\/p>\n Sule Salifu claimed the Tamale Teaching Hospital Theater was malfunctioning for close to three weeks due to broken air conditioners and lack of oxygen.<\/p>\n NPP Deputy national youth Organizer<\/strong> He cautioned NPP supporters against skirt and blouse voting and asked them to massively vote for Nana Akufo Ado and all the party\u2019s Parliamentary candidates.<\/p>\n
