Central Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwamena Duncan says Ghanaians should vote for the party's flagbearer Nana Addo and his Running mate Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, saying they are "our best pair to handle the affairs of this country.”

Contributing to Peace FM's political discussion programme 'Kokrokoo', Kwamena Duncan noted that Nana Addo is a man of integrity and has no track record of corruption.

He was commenting on a recent survey by policy think tank, Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) revealing that Ghana going the wrong direction, under President Mahama's administration.

“The mood of the electorate going into the 2016 polls is broadly negative. Seven in 10 Ghanaians believe the country is going in the wrong direction; and nearly half blame this ‘completely’ or ‘mostly’ on the government. Only a quarter think the country is headed in the right direction,” Senior Research Fellow at CDD, Daniel Armah Attoh, told journalists in Accra yesterday during the presentation of the report on ‘Popular opinions on issues at stake in the 2016 election," the CDD stated.

According to the NPP Central Regional Secretary, political parties should be concerned with surveys by policy think tanks in the country.

“You cannot place a finger on one single event to prove this man is corrupt. He comes with a strong character . . . Integrity is not just a value in itself. It is a value that guarantees all the other values. Integrity; and that is what Nana Addo comes on board with.”

He also advised the parties to be "concerned about the needs of the people. You must be concerned about the prudent management of the resources of the country. It must be your watch word that you won’t come into power to steal and enrich ourselves. We’re in government for people to have confidence in us, to serve and manage affairs well to improve lives. A political party, you must be concerned . . . Our party is concerned.”
