The ruling New Patriotic Party is brimming with confidence and excitement ahead of last Saturday's presidential and parliamentary elections.
With barely 48 hours to the crucial polls, the Middle-Belt Campaign Coordinator for the Vice President and flagbearer of the NPP, Dr. Nana Ayew Afriyie, says the ruling party is poised for a massive victory in the middle belt regions with a predicted 99 seats, including 15 new seats.
Addressing the media in Kumasi to climax the campaign in the middle belt zone for the ruling party, the ever-confident and smiling MP Legislator predicted that the NPP is set to deliver a massive blow to the opposition NDC on Saturday.
Hon. Ayew Afriyie said all the necessary structures and preparations have been put in place to ensure a resounding victory in both the presidential and parliamentary elections.
According to him, the NPP have five major indicators in the middle belt zone, going into this weekend's polls, adding that one of them will be to cause upset at the backyard of the home region of the NDC Chairman.
"We can state emphatically that after an exhaustive and comprehensive campaign across all the 6 regions, the NPP is set to win a total of 99 seats in Ashanti, Eastern, Bono East, Ahafo, Western North and Eastern Regions" Hon. Ayew Afriyie predicted.
According to him, amongst the seats the ruling party is set to annex on Saturday include the Tain Constituency, which is the constituency of the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.
He said though the party encountered tough times in the course of the campaign, having been confronted with several challenges, the NPP managed to surmount all the hurdles, thanks to the remarkable work done by the flagbearer, His Excellency Dr Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia and the energetic and experience members of his campaign team.
"We are clear in our minds that the NPP will achieve more than 51% of the total votes and the Middle-Belt Regions is poised to deliver for Dr Mahamadu Bawumia " He predicted.
The Effiduase Asokore Member of Parliament noted that Ghanaians have clearly accepted that the Vice President and the NPP have solid and time-tested policies and programmes which can move the country forward, compared to the former President whose campaign has been full of insults and incendiary messages.
The Middle-Belt Campaign Coordinator for Dr. Bawumia said the party has absolute confidence in the security arrangements as far as the middle belt is concerned, stressing that Ghanaians should go out in their numbers to cast their ballots.
"We want to assure all Ghanaians, especially voters in the 6 regions under the middle belt zone that they have nothing to worry about because their security is fully assured, they must go to their polling stations and cast their ballots for the NPP and Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia without fear or intimidation"
