After 12 successful years of dedicated service to the people of Okaikoi North, Hon. Elizabeth KwotsoSackey is taking a bow from frontline politics.

The God fearing and senior member of the Church of Pentecost was first elected in 2004 and she later won the 2008 and 2012 parliamentary elections on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

Speaking in an interview with The Publisher, the former member of ECOWAS Parliament said it was time to move on and allow others to take over the leadership of the party in the constituency which has been voting for NPP since 1996.

“Our constituency has a number of competent people capable of steering the affairs of the party to the next level.

“I have served the party and my heart is at peace with the decision to step down from the frontline and I have the strong conviction that delegates would elect a dedicated person who will work hard for   next year’s general election, which Nana Akufo-Addo must win to implement the good policies he has for Ghanaians,” Hon. Elizabeth  Sackey  stated. She also called for an end to internal bickering especially among party executives at all levels and go into the 2016 election with one goal which is victory for the NPP. “There is no doubts that the NDC under the late Prof Mills and now President John Dramani Mahama has failed  to fulfilled the aspiration of the people  and come 2016, they would be voted out, but political experiences have shown that no political party has won any election with a divided front," she noted

Majority of Ghanaians are not blinded to the numerous socio-economic crisis  facing them, but that alone cannot secure victory for the NPP party, if we are not seem to be united.

The only vehicle that would cruise the NPP to victory come 2016 is unity and all members of the party, particularly the  executives must work towards assembling all aggrieved members and tapping into their rich experience. Hon Sackey also pledged her support for the orphan constituencies and urged all liked –minded people in the party to be board to help candidates who be elected in all the orphan areas.

"Our party needs more seats in parliament to ensure that Nana Addo’s program that he has for Ghanaians when he assumes office is not hindered by the NDC minority in 2017," she said.
