The flag-bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr Mahamudu Bawumia early this morning visited the party’s call centre at Asokwa where some staff have been calling people to remind them of voting day and policies of the NPP.

Joined by members of his campaign team including the Ashanti regional NPP Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako and the Director General of the National Service Authority (NSA),  Mr Osei Assibey Antwi, the flag-bearer interacted with the volunteers.

Beaming with smiles, the volunteers at intervals cheered on the flag-bearer as he took time to the appreciate each of them for the work they were doing.

Briefing:

Briefing the team about the operations  at the Call Center, Chairman Antwi Boasiako told the flag-bearer that the volunteers had so far called about 20, 000 persons and interacted with them.

He noted that the plan is to at least reach about 1.5 million persons with the DMB message before December 7.

The regional Chairman told Dr Bawumia that the team was committed to working towards achieving the target set for them.

“His Excellency these are committed volunteers from the NPP who have so far called about 20, 00 voters in the Ashanti region and reached them with your message of possibilities and hope”, the Chairman stated.

Appreciation:

Showing appreciation to the team, Dr Bawumia commended them for their dedication.

He also praised Chairman Wontumi for helping to recruit volunteers and setting up the call center for the operations of the party.

Dr Bawumia asked the team to double up and call the trageted number of people so as to reach them with his message.

The flag-bearer in a symbolic gesture called one voter in Ashanti on the phone and interacted with him as the person sounded surprised but elated at same time.
