Professor John Evans Atta Mills, Flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Saturday declared that victory for the party in Election 2008 was assured and called for hard work.
"We know that the ground is soften for a landslide victory, but we would not be complacent, we would continue to marshal all human resources and material to empower our foot soldiers and others on the battle field to work hard until we gain total victory," he added. Prof. Mills made the declaration at the first NDC National Fund-raising Dinner Dance in Accra attended by stalwarts of the party including Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, Former Ministers of State and Members of Parliament.
Others were businessmen and women, NDC National Executives, diplomats, contractors and party activists who were entertained by Jewel Ackah and the Butterfly Six dance band.
The NDC Flag bearer however, cautioned NDC foot soldiers and frontline officers to recognise the enormous task ahead, "as nobody would hand over power on a silver platter...we need to redouble our efforts for victory".
Dr Kwabena Adjei, NDC National Chairman said the party would organise the most cost effective modern strategic campaign that their opponents on the electoral battlefield would be dumbfounded. "We need unity, fortitude, solidarity and a revival of the NDC infectious movement and attraction...all hands must be on deck no sitting on the fence again, we must work together under the big NDC umbrella," he said.
Defending the fund raising drive embarked upon by the party locally and internationally, the NDC Chairman said the party required financial resources to train at least two polling station agents for each of the 21,000 polling stations nationwide.
"Policing of the ballot box at the polling station is paramount, we therefore need well-trained, motivated and empowered polling station agents to protect our interest throughout the elections". Dr Adjei reminded activists and sympathisers of NDC of its theme: "United For Victory" stressing "with the type of unity being exuded by the party, we will not be scared about the funds our opponents are using".
"An extremely united NDC with a focused vision and its message on the need for Ghanaians to vote for a meaningful change would make us victorious," he added.
