“The Volta region’s allegiance to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) is as a result of the fact that, founder of the party, former President Jerry John Rawlings hails from the region, and the NDC can only return to power if he joins in the campaign against 2020 elections,” flagbearer hopeful Dr. Spio Garbrah has cautioned the largest opposition NDC.
Speaking on Kasapa Fm, Dr. Spio Garbrah expressed confidence the party is capable of returning to power after the 2020 polls but not without the support of the first president under the fourth republic.
He noted that, Mr. Rawlings’ absence during the 2016 elections significantly contributed to the party’s defeat, adding that the dwindling number of votes from the region in the last election is an indication of the influence the latter wields in the enclave.
“During the time of Rawlings, the party gets more than 90 percent of the votes from the Volta region. Late Professor Mills got about 80 percent of the votes and during that time, Rawlings was very much involved in the campaign. In the last election, the vote dropped to about 70 percent during Mahama’s time.”
“This is a clear indication that, the region’s allegiance is to Rawlings and not anyone. So no matter who the party presents, if the person has the support of Rawlings, they will vote massively for him” he said.
Meanwhile, he has urged delegates to have confidence in his candidature by massively voting for him in the upcoming flagbearership race in December this year.
He said:“I’m incorruptible and have never been tagged with any corrupt act, I know it is my time and everywhere I go people tell me it is actually my time to be president”.

Oh Spio! see!!! Rawlings is the most greedy person ever lived. He has already made himself irrelevant in the NDC. He has mess-up with his integrity and respect. Rawlings voice is too common now to charm people!!
I am disappointed in you. Are you saying you are in this game because of Rawlings and not your own credentials? Are you aware Mills and Mahama won their presidential elections without Rawlings? He never supported them. Why now? If you are not confident enough then please pull out now. Rawlings is a spent force and living in the past. He can only make ***barred word*** noises to be relevant and heard. Why won't you make him your campaign manager then? You have shot yourself in the foot and it looks like you don't have any more ideas. You have been left behind massa
WHAT IS THIS MAN SAYING? RAWLLINGS? DURING HIS NINTEEN YEARS ON THE SEAT OF GOV. WHAT DID HE DO FOR GHANAIANS? MR SPIO WHY NOT TELL GHANAIANS WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM.

GHANAIANS WANT FREE SHS, TEACHERS AND NURSES ALLOWANCES, PLANT FOR FOOD AND JOBS, CUT IN ELECTRICITY TARRIFS ECT, ECT.MR SPIO PLEASE PARK YOURSELF UNDER THE BRIDGE AND LET OVER HEAD CARS PASS OVER YOU.

MOST GHANAIANS ARE NOT STUPIDDDD.ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
I am disappointed in Spio. You are not tackling issues but rather personalities. Are you indirectly telling us that Voltarians don't think but rather follow Rawlings on whatever he says? Ahhhhhba! When speaking please, do listen to yourself and analyse your statements and stop this infantile behaviour. It will send you nowhere.
we must vote on issues and stop this tribal politics..... Rawlings is a spent force... He cannot do anything.
Spio, NDC will not and cannot win 2020 elections with or without Rawlings.
