The Parliamentary Candidate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Zabzugu Constituency of the North­ern Region, Alhaji Ali Fawaz, has stressed the need for the party to empower its grass roots members to enhance their efforts in achieving the goal of breaking the eight-year cycle.

In an interview with The Ghanaian Times in Tamale yesterday, he said, "I have maintained close contact with the grass roots in my constituency, fostering strong relationships and attentively addressing their concerns." He underscored the importance of unity among supporters, members, and sym­pathisers of the party, urging them to avoid misunderstandings.

Alhaji Fawaz, who also serves as a Deputy Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, recently donated motorbikes to orphanages within the constituency to facili­tate effective campaigning in their respective areas.

He stated that the support was to ensure that grassroots members conduct their party activities without facing significant obstacles.
