Host chairman of the ruling National Democratic [NDC] manifesto launch, Mr. Opoku Atuahene says presidential candidates must either marry a native from the Brong Ahafo region or perhaps forget about the presidency.
Assuring President John Dramani Mahama of a ‘one touch’ victory in the upcoming presidential polls, the NDC Brong Ahafo Regional Chairman said a wife from the region will boost the chances of an aspirant who harbours presidential ambition.
“Anyone who wants to be president in Ghana must marry from Brong Ahafo” he said at the launch of the party’s manifesto at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
Mr. Opoku Atuahene also pledged to increase the party’s parliamentary seats from 16 to 30.
Clad in their red, white, green and black party colours, thousands of supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) are awainting patiently for the main event; the manifesto launch.
The venue, according to the National Chairman of the NDC, Kofi Portuphy, was strategically selected to help the party win more votes in the swing region.
Youth Will Be Safe Under Mahama
On his part, the National Youth Organizer of the ruling NDC, Sidi Abubakar challenged the opposition leader of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo to outlined successes chalked by his party during Ex-President Kufuor’s era.
He charged the electorates [mostly the youth] to reject the NPP and its leader in the December 7, election.
According to him – the youth has seen some tremendous transformation in Mahama-led administration and must be maintained.
"The youth will be safe under president Mahama, unlike Nana Addo" he said.

John Mahama is a waste of space and time. He is a curse unto Ghana.
Observers are Worried. Palpitation go Kill you!
Pathetic! So where is your message to Ghanaians? That we all go and marry from the Brong Ahafo region? That is why we have to send you guys packing way.
NDC nkwaceafo party. Fuuuuuuuulish peoples party. Such a fuuuuuuuulish statement should not be published at all. And all followers of NDC party are fuuuuuuuulish that is why they keep following such a party.
This is an unfortunate statement. Does that mean women from other regions are not worthy of marrying if one want to occupy the highest office. Such comments must be condemned outright.
I am damn sorry about how petty our politicians can be! The other day it was about Moslems and the elephant How does this infantile behaviour help the country grow and mature
You see GA's ,Volta and other women of other regions this is what Mahama says.he's set the ball too low.simply,he married his wife for political reasons ,how intelligent''his wife should know her opportunistic husband now, he's made a ***barred word*** out of her
oooooooooooppppppppssss! THIS THE LEVEL JM REDUCES OTHER GHANAIAN WOMEN TO. MY HEART BLEEDS FOR " OTHER GHANAIAN WOMEN" I EVEN FEEL SORRY FOR ENTIRE NNP FRATERNITY. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF IT WERE NANA WHO MADE THIS PROFOUND ANNOUNCEMENT? UR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MIND
Ghanaian women this is the message from NDC coming from Brong Ahafo Region. With the support my sister to this party.
I don't blame him. His ***barred word*** wife has bought degrees from all over and still can't read and speak clear English, she is a complete disgrace to Ghana.
