Mr Akpaloo mentioned this in Ho on Saturday, September 21 where he launched his 2024 manifesto and unveiled his running mate.

"We will listen to your concerns, we'll learn from your experience, we'll lead with integrity and compassion".
She added, "I pledge to work tirelessly to ensure that our party is built on the principle of justice, equality and opportunities for all", adding that when given the mandate ", we will not rest until every Ghanaian has access to quality healthcare, education and economic empowerment".
Hundreds of supporters and sympathizers of the party attended the ceremony.
All parliamentary candidates on the ticket of the LPG in the Volta region and some other constituencies from across the country were present and were officially introduced by the flagbearer to the constituents.
