The Flagbearer of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Agbenu Akpaloo, has boldly declared that his party will secure more votes in the Volta Region than the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections.
Akpaloo emphasized that the NDC no longer holds the dominance it once had in the region.
“NDC has no stronghold in the Volta Region anymore. Oh yes, I can tell you I will beat the NDC in the Volta Region,” he said.
He expressed strong belief in his party’s rising influence in the Volta Region, an area traditionally viewed as an NDC stronghold. He pointed to the large turnout at LPG’s recent event in Ho as evidence of the party’s growing popularity.
As a native of the Volta Region, Akpaloo believes his local roots and his position as the only presidential candidate from the region will work to his advantage.
He also drew attention to his number five position on the ballot paper, which he feels resonates with the Volta Region. “I’m the only Voltarian in this race, and number five. Number five spells V-O-L-T-A, Volta, the first Voltarian to be here,” he explained.
Mr Akpaloo’s optimism stems from the overwhelming support seen during LPG’s manifesto launch in the Volta Region, which, according to him, demonstrated the party’s strong foothold and his belief in victory over the NDC.
“Over there, you would have noticed that the turnout was fantastic. People didn’t believe that LPG would draw such a large crowd for an event of that nature in Ho, because they think it’s an NDC stronghold,” he said.
