The campaign event that attracted party big wigs across the country including Mr Julius Debrah, the Chief of Staff was attended by the constituents who were in white party T-shirts and National Democratic Congress (NDC) paraphernalia.

Mr Bagbin beat everybody’s expectation when he arrived at the campaign grounds in a Bajaj car instead of the usual V-8 vehicle enjoyed by Ghanaian politicians. The event, which also attracted heavy security and media presence saw speaker upon speaker coming out to shower praises on the veteran Legislator, President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC.

Mr Debrah described Mr Bagbin as a very experienced person in Parliament whose absence would create a very big vacuum not only in the House, but also within the NDC and the Constituency. The Chief of Staff said Bagbin had become a national asset and that voting to retain him as the Member of Parliament for Nadowli-Kaleo would be more beneficial than any other person.

Mr Debrah said the government has great plans to boost agriculture through a programme dubbed: “Green Revolution,” in other words “Operation Feed Yourself.” He said under the programme 12,000 tractors would be brought into the country to establish agriculture mechanisation centres across the country to enable farmers have access to tractor services even on credit basis.

Alhaji Amidu Sulemana, Upper West Regional Minister said the NDC stands for peace and development and advised the people of the constituency to vote massively to retain Bagbin and President Mahama for them to address the challenges in the constituency.

Mr Bagbin thanked the chiefs and people of the Constituency for keeping faith with him for all these years, adding that he would never turn his back on them. He said President Mahama had the region at heart and appealed to the people to vote for him to address the development problems.
