The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reviewed its target of winning three parliamentary seats and 30 per cent of the total votes in the Volta Region to five parliamentary seats and 50 per cent of the presidential votes, respectively.
The review follows the recent campaign tour of the Region by its Flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, which the Party described as a “monumental success” and a “striking historical political democratic revolution within the Region.”
At a media conference, on Tuesday, to announce a review of the target, Mr Peter Amewu, the Regional Chairman of the Party, said, “For a region that the NDC thinks is their world bank, the expression of support for Nana Akufo-Addo was intense and overpowering,” an indication that the NPP would win more seats and votes.
He said the reception demonstrated Nana Addo’s “unmatched popularity in this year’s presidential race” with people in the Region hailing him as a “Messiah, Defender, Saviour, Peace Maker and incorruptible Leader.”
Mr Amewu said the Volta Region was no longer the stronghold for the NDC and expressed optimism that the electorate in the Region would “send a clear message and shock to the NDC by saying, ‘Enough is Enough’ and vote for the NPP.
He expressed gratitude to the chiefs and people of the Region for the reception given to Nana Addo and stated that the Party’s commitment to developing the Region and creating jobs for young people, when given the nod to govern the country in the December polls.
Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, the NPP Director of Fundraising, later launched the Party’s “Adopt-A-Polling Station” project, aimed at encouraging members to contribute money and resources to support polling station activities on the Election Day.
He said apart from money, members and sympathisers could support specific polling stations with food, water and other logistics and that all contributors would be acknowledged duly.
The NPP has no parliamentary seat in the Volta Region but won 12.93 per cent of presidential votes in the Region in 2012.

The correct word to use as headline for this article is REVISED and not REVIEWED. To REVIEW means that you will assess something with the intent of possibly making a change. To REVISE means to change or alter something in light of new evidence.
Ha ha ha !! It is reliably learned the Volta Regional executives have also devised a way of milking Nana Addo just to get their share of the booty which they felt only John Boadu and Sammy Awuku are enjoying. It will surprise readers to Nana Addo even didn't know that the so-called chiefs who endorsed him were not real chiefs but were organized to appear as chiefs. NPP is being deceived into believing that the party will make in-roles in the Volta Region so as to obtain their share of the party cake.
GOD WILL GIVE NPP 65% IN VOLTA REGION
2016 elections has nothing like strong holds bcos the electorate have tried over the years and have found out that they are being deceived. 7 seats and 45% of popular votes is achievable. in 2020 there will be nothing like strong hold in Ghana.
