Former President Rawlings was given a rousing welcome on his arrival in Wa this week as part of his ten-day tour of the Northern Regions.
His first rally held at the forecourt of the Wa old palace temporarily brought all activities in the municipality to a halt as residents took over the streets with some riding on bicycles and motorbikes decorated with NDC party paraphernalia.
The party’s sitting MPs and executives in the region attended the rally.
On Thursday he drove through some principal streets to pay courtesy calls on the Nandom Chief, Naa Yarinaa, Alhaji Mustapha, Birefo Naa Harry Gondaa (III) and the family of the late Ducie Naa Yakubu.
He also addressed rallies at Baamili, Birefo, Lawra and held a mammoth rally at Nandom Market Square where the former President Rawlings and Dr. Benjamin Kumbuor who is the MP for area addressed supporters.
Addressing students of the Nandom Senior High School, the former president advised registered voters among them to vote for NDC since it is the only political party that has good policies to ensure a better future for the younger generation.
He said because of the NPP’s bad, selfish and corrupt governance most parents cannot afford their children’s school fees.
