The flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Friday ended a seven-month nation-wide tour to interact with a cross section of Ghanaians.
The tour, which was inspired by flagbearer�s vision to build a society of opportunities and aspirations for every Ghanaian, started in July 2011from the Eastern Region and ended in the Volta Region.
Nana Akufo-Addo travelled long distances to big cities, small towns, villages and hamlets which offered him a first-hand opportunity to hear directly from Ghanaians what their concerns, problems and aspirations were.
Mr Boakye Agyarko, NPP Campaign Manager, said the tour was a most humbling and enlightening experience for the flagbearer as well as other party leaders.
He said:: �the tour has made Nana Akufo-Addo more prepared than ever to lead the country as he is determined more than ever to bring the kind of change that will transform both our society and economy�.
Mr Lord Commey, NPP Director of Operations, said the tour was �the longest, intimate and most enduring campaign regime ever undertaken by any flagbearer of the party within such a short period in Ghana�s history."
Mr Commey noted that NPP�s rally at Manste Agbonaa, Jamestown, in Accra on Saturday will bring to an end the listening tour and usher in another round of nationwide tours.
�Nana Addo will embark on another intensive and extensive tour to restore hope. First, he went and listened. Now, he will go back and restore hope,� Mr Commey said .
