The absence of the former president Rawlings on the NDC campaign trail in recent times has been so conspicuous that it has become the talk of town.

According to him, "The good people of the Volta Region know that the NDC has failed them, the NDC has relegated and ostracised Jerry Rawlings who was one of the main reasons why the Volta Region will vote for the NDC."

Speaking on Accra-based Class FM, Hadzide said, “They know that he has been marginalised and ostracised…so the reason why Voltarians will vote for the party no longer exists, coupled with the fact that they now know that Nana Addo is a jobs candidate."

"He [Nana Addo] is an honest candidate, not corruptible, he is competent, not incompetent and that he will bring a lot of development to the Volta Region, and, so, we expect to meet our target of 30 percent in the Volta Region."

The absence of the former president on the NDC campaign trail in recent times has been so conspicuous that it has become the talk of town.

Apart from Cape Coast where the NDC launched its national campaign in August, Rawlings has not been seen at any major campaign event, including the manifesto launch of the party in Sunyani in late September.

He did not endorse John Mahama when he attended the NDC campaign launch, but asked the party supporters to wait till after the elections before he would go round the country to rebuild the party.

Meanwhile, the NPP flagbearer will begin a 5-day tour of the Volta Region. This will be the 2nd time this year that Nana Akufo-Addo will tour the region – a region for which the NPP has set an agenda of capturing at least 3 seats in parliament and 30% of the popular vote.

Nana Akufo-Addo will visit a total of 15 constituencies, which will include visits to South Dayi, Kpando, Krachi East, Nkwanta North, Hohoe, Ho Central, North Tongu, amongst others.
