Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana – In a display of enthusiasm and solidarity, thousands of supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) took to the streets of Sekondi-Takoradi, the Western Regional capital, on Saturday, August 17, 2024, for a massive health walk. The event was organized as a prelude to the official launch of the party's 2024 manifesto, scheduled for Sunday, August 18, in Takoradi.
The walk, which saw an impressive turnout, was not just a physical activity but a demonstration of the party's robust grassroots support as the NPP gears up for the 2024 general elections. Participants, clad in the party's colors of red, white, and blue, marched through the principal streets of the twin city, waving flags, chanting party slogans, and showing their unwavering support for the party’s leadership.
The NPP has been keen on building momentum ahead of the manifesto launch, and the health walk provided an opportunity for the party to connect with its supporters and energize its base. The event culminated in a rally where various party officials, including the NPP’s vice-presidential candidate, Dr. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, addressed the crowd. Dr. Prempeh, popularly known as 'Napo,' expressed his gratitude to the participants and reiterated the party's commitment to delivering on its promises.
The governing party has high hopes for its 2024 manifesto, which promises to focus heavily on job creation and the digitization of the economy. The manifesto, according to a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, is expected to outline strategies for economic growth, with a particular emphasis on creating sustainable employment opportunities for the youth and advancing digital infrastructure across the country.
An eleven-member committee was established earlier in August to plan and execute the manifesto launch. The committee, led by senior party members, has been working tirelessly to ensure that the event is a success, aiming to set the tone for the party’s campaign in the coming months.
The NPP's manifesto launch, scheduled for Sunday, August 18, is expected to draw significant attention from both party supporters and political observers. The document is anticipated to outline the party’s vision for the next four years and provide a roadmap for achieving continued development and prosperity for all Ghanaians.
As the NPP prepares to unveil its 2024 manifesto, the successful health walk in Sekondi-Takoradi underscores the party's readiness to engage the electorate and campaign vigorously ahead of the December elections.
