Mrs. Prempeh was accompanied by hundreds of delegates, supporters and sympathisers in the constituency, who were clad in NPP colours and paraphernalia, and held placards with inscription such as “let’s maintain Freda for Party unity”, “Freda you deserve additional four years”, “Freda Toaso” and “No Freda no NPP”.

Addressing the crowd, Mrs. Prempeh who is the Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection expressed appreciation to particularly, the delegates for their unflinching support towards strengthening the Party’s structures, while working to improve on the livelihoods of the people.
