The Chief of staff Mr Julius Debrah has arrived  in the Eastern region for a five-day campaign tour  towards  the December 7th election accompanied  by some members  of the national campaign  task force such as Madam Faustina  Nelson  and national executive  members of the party such as Mr  Koku  Anyidoho General Secretary of the party.

Immediately after  his arrival  the Chief  of staff  and his team interacted with the media and held a closed  door  meeting with  the regional  executives and the regional campaign task force of the  NDC.
In an interview  with  journalists, the  Eastern  regional chairman of the NDC Mr Tawiah  Boateng said the region is not a strong hold of the NPP as some people  think.

According to Mr Tawiah Boateng the NDC beat  the NPP in the 1992 and 1996 elections under former  President  Rawlings but lost the region to the NPP from the year 2000.

He said though  the party has been trailing behind  the NPP in terms  of electoral votes  obtained in the region since the year  2000, NDC's total votes has been increasing  steadily  in each election from 2004 .

Mr Tawiah Boateng  was therefore  optimistic that the  party will achieve  its agenda  50% votes in this year's  election.
