Change voting pattern
Ms. Dzogbenuku advised Ghanaians to change their voting pattern of always casting their votes for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
She said this was the time for the electorate to vote for the PPP that they could benefit from good governance and equitable distribution of quality development projects.
She emphasised that a PPP government would pay special attention to gender balance in political appointments.
