A seminar for 70 election monitors of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Odododiodioo constituency opened in Accra on Saturday.
It was preceded with a four-hour walk and physical exercise involving aerobics at the Richard Akwei Memorial School at Ayalolo led by Mr Maxwell Borketey, a physical training instructor.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, Mr Isaac Adjei, Elections and Campaign Coordinator of the party, said the seminar was for Ward Coordinators of the NDC in the area who would be monitoring the December General Elections in the constituency.
He said as Coordinators, they would be on the move throughout the period, which would be physically demanding and had to be fit for the task.
Mr Adjei called on the participants to attach importance to the exercise to enable them to form teams in their various wards who would be capable of anticipating outcomes to make them effective in managing the elections to ensure resounding victory for the party to continue the Better Ghana Agenda.
He urged them to keep their communication lines open to be able to devise systems to verify alarms to ensure successful and peaceful elections adding that the seminar was to equip them with the rudiments, rules and regulations on election management.
The Constituency Chairman, Mr Daniel Nii Okai, popularly known as Toza, noted that even though most of them were involved in previous elections, there was the need to improve their performance to ensure a successful election.
He stated that ensuring free and fair elections was a collective responsibility and said there was need for them to know what was expected of them as election monitors to ensure that the NDC retained power.
Mr Okai said elections were won at the polling stations and urged them to ensure that members of the party in their wards turned up in their numbers to cast their votes on the Election Day to ensure victory for the party.
