The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed confidence that it will deliver a significant defeat to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the upcoming December 7 general elections in the Greater Accra region.
The NDC is also hopeful of increasing its number of parliamentary seats in the region.
Currently, the party holds 20 out of the 34 seats, while the NPP holds 14.
Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye, Member of Parliament for Odododiodoo and a key member of the NDC Campaign Team, emphasised that while Greater Accra is traditionally a swing region, the NDC is intensifying its grassroots mobilization and campaign efforts to secure more seats in the upcoming elections. "I am very sure about retaining Odododiodio and I am also sure about the NDC increasing our number of seats in the Greater Accra region.
We now have 20, and the NPP have 14, but I am assuring NDC supporters and the whole NDC as a party that we will at least add four more seats to the 20 we are holding. "If we don't lose any of the 20 we have, I am assuring them that we will add more seats and for clarity, the NDC will win Greater Accra whether the NPP likes it or not."
