The Upper West Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih insists that the development of the region and the country as a whole can only continue if Ghanaians retain the New Patriotic Party, NPP, in subsequent elections.

Making his case, the Minister said in the area of education under the Nana Addo Administration, 344 educational infrastructural projects have been initiated by the GET Fund and the various 11 Municipal and District Assemblies in the region.

19 of these projects he said, have helped to deal with the double track system in most schools in the region.

Dr. Bin Salih was speaking at the Annual Regional Delegates Conference at Wa.

The Regional Delegates Conference is the highest decision making body in the region for the NPP.

Leadership of the party used the conference to highlight the achievements of the government and ask for continuous support.

The Upper West Regional Minister, Dr. Hafiz Bin said development in the Upper West Region has been tremendous under the NPP.

He said more than 300,0000 farmers have benefited from the Planting for Food and Jobs programme and thus increased maize production in the region from an initial 5.2 metric tons in 2016 to 319 metric tons in 2020.

Dr. Bin Salih added that 57 dams under the One Village One Dam project had been completed and handed over to communities for use to support all year round farming.

The Minister disclosed that a total of 110 road projects were ongoing in the region. This, he said, includes the four critical road projects.

On his part, the General Secretary of the NPP, John Boadu called for unity from party folk to enable the NPP to win all subsequent elections. He commended prospective candidates in the Presidential race

“We have a code of conduct in place that guides us, particularly the parliamentary and presidential elections. So far I can say that we have seen increasing discipline from our members. It was getting bad at some point. I hope that those presidential hopefuls will continue to abide by the code of conduct. I believe that if they do so, it will be in their own interest because the party you want to lead, you must respect its rules and regulations,” he said.

Touching on what has become a popular mantra for the NPP, ‘Break the Eight’, Mr. Boadu said there is a need to ‘break the eight’ because the NPP is the only party that fosters the rapid development of the country.

He said the National Democratic Congress, NDC, has always been unable to see to the development of the country.

The 2021 Annual Regional Conference was attended by party faithful across the region, regional leadership of the party and some national leaders of the party.
