The Vice Presidential candidate of the Progressive People’s Party Brigitte Dzogbenuku has started her campaign tour across the country in a bid to win the upcoming general elections in December.

She started her tour in the Volta Region, on Tuesday (August 23). According to a press statement signed by the 2nd National Vice Chairperson of the party Belinda Bulley, the tour “is set to reiterate the consensually accepted practical reality that indeed a wasted vote is one that brings unemployment, diseases, unfriendly economic environment, etc.”

The statement said that the PPP has realised that Ghanaian voters are tired of the duopoly and would want to make a change.

The PPP argues that they are the only party with all the qualities the Ghanaian populace needs. This has led to an intensified campaign by the Presidential nominee and running mate as well as parliamentary nominees of the party.

Dzogbenuku’s tour of the Volta region follows a successful campaign in the same region by Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom.

He visited Tsito-Awudome in the Volta region, where he called on the electorates to reject both NDC and NPP.

“You check those standing for election, check Nana Addo as a flag bearer or John Dramani Mahama as president  and ask yourself what jobs have these two people brought to Ghana, and then ask yourself what Papa Kwesi Nduom has been doing since the last election.”

He questioned why both Nana Addo and President Mahama have to wait till election time to realise that Ghanaians need jobs, citing that as opportunistic and unfortunate.

“So President Mahama is saying he just realised Ghanaians need jobs so he is promising to create one million jobs if reelected, and he Nana Addo I ask what has he been doing since the 2012 election.  They know how to talk and talk.  I, on the other hand, have continued to provide jobs for Ghanaians since the last election, so the choice for you is a clear one.”

The theme for PPP’s campaign is “The Bright Awakening”.
