Making the presentation, Dr Agyemang-Mensah noted that the donation was part of his contribution to the campaign team in its efforts to realise the one million votes in the Ashanti Region for President Mahama in the 2016 presidential election.
He expressed the hope that the logistics would be of help in the campaign.
Mr Yaw Obimpeh, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the party, commended Dr Agyemang-Mensah for the gesture, which he said came at the right time.
He said the party was working hard in the region to make its dream come to fruition
The Regional Campaign Co-ordinator, Mr Andy Okrah, who is the deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, also thanked the donor for his contribution.
He noted that the team was ever ready and was making frantic efforts to exceed the one million target.
Mr Okrah asked other party activists to emulate his example in a bid to win the elections.
Dr Agyemang-Mensah indicated that the machinations of some of the opposing parties to malign party members would not materialise and expressed the optimism that the NDC would definitely emerge victorious.
He noted that the good work done in the areas of roads, water, school infrastructure, new markets and many other related projects testified to a party which was serious and therefore needed to be given the mandate to continue with such work.
He called on the numerous supporters of the party and its sympathisers to move to the nook and cranny to sell to the electorate what the party had done and would continue to do when given the nod once again.
Dr Agyemang-Mensah also advised the members to exercise restraint in the course of their campaigns even when they were provoked.
