“Together, we’ll build a future everyone can be proud of,” he told supporters of the NPP at Vakpo as part of his week-long campaign tour of the region.

A statement issued by his campaign team said Dr Acheampong’s pledge was met with cheers from party delegates and workers.

That, it said, signalled a fresh commitment to an area eager for progress.  

It said Dr Acheampong’s tour had drawn massive crowds, with residents waving flags, placards and chanting slogans.  

It said the “I adopt Volta” was a call to action underpinning Dr Acheampong’s pledge that included regular visits, community engagement and tailored projects to tackle unemployment and infrastructure gaps.

Roadmap

The statement said he also outlined a roadmap for his vision, promising to unify the party, bridge the divides within the party and the constituencies.

It said Dr Acheampong’s promise to resource the local party base directly struck a chord with the party faithful, who felt neglected for a long time.  

“Under his leadership, he sees an NPP that provides development with dignity to deliver visible projects, from roads to hospitals, to schools, to restoring pride in the region,” the statement said.  

“Dr Acheampong talks discipline as his hallmark and has promised accountability, ensuring leaders and members stay focused on results rooted in discipline,” it said.   

Late party members

The statement said that during a moment at the EP Church in Vakpo, Dr Acheampong paused to honour the memory of late party members, calling them “the backbone of our journey.”

It said the tribute underscored his message of respect and continuity, linking past efforts to future goals.  

Recent independent polls by Global Info Analytics and the Centre for Quality Governance have all seen Dr Acheampong making a strong surge in the NPP Primaries, dominating the Ashanti and Eastern regions. - GNA
