The Mfantseman Municipal Chief Executive, Mr Henry Kweku Hayfron, has appealed to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to accord the presidency respect. He said the behaviour put up by NPP Members of Parliament on the day the President presented the State of the Nation address to Parliament degraded them as �honourable members.� Mr Hayfron said the apparel in which they appeared in the august House that day left much to be desired. Addressing the Women�s wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at a seminar organised to strategise for the December general elections, he said though the President was their political opponent, the NPP must bear in mind that he was elected by majority of Ghanaians and that the minority cannot impose their will on the majority. Mr Hayfron appealed to the leadership of the NPP to bring their supporters, especially the serial callers, to order because the way they addressed the President on the airwaves was not the best. He urged the NPP to allow the rule of law to operate and stop besieging police stations and courts any time any of their members was arrested. Mr Hayfrom said 104 projects had been executed over the past three years in the Municipality and these include school blocks, sanitation facilities, Community Health and Planning Service Compounds. He said the campaign for the general elections would be based on achievements and urged members of the NDC to be conversant with what the government had done since coming into office and cautioned them against insulting their opponents as a mode of campaigning. Madam Ekua Swanzy, Deputy Central Regional Women�s Organiser, appealed to supporters to bury differences to work to retain the seat. Madam Alice Wenchie, Mfantseman West Women�s Organizer, told the women to ensure that President Mills won the election without going for a run-off.
