NDC CANDIDATES RALLY FOR SUPPORT (PAGE 16)

• At Tamale South

Story: Zakaria Alhassan, Tamale

WITH barely a month to the December polls, the Tamale South Member of Parliament, Mr Iddrisu Haruna, has formally launched his campaign in an attempt to annex the constituency for the second time running at a rally at Lamashegu, a suburb in the constituency.
The rally, which attracted a large crowd, was dominated largely by the youth. Also present were some national and regional executive of the party.
Mr Haruna, who described the crowd as impressive, gave the assurance that he would win the elections by a landslide to enable him to continue service the people.
He gave the assurance: ‘‘Not only will I consolidate the seat, but the NDC, under the distinguished leadership of Professor Mills, would also win the presidential election.
Mr Haruna, however, entreated the security agencies in the area to exercise their legitimate constitutional obligation by providing adequate security to ensure free and fair polls devoid of intimidation, fear and molestation.
The MP was emphatic that the party was going to triumph in the polls, adding, ‘‘We do not subscribe to any power-sharing deal, which is not only illegal but also unconstitutional.”
