"The GNP is here to stay and we will work hard to make an impressive showing at this year’s general election," Eric Mesah Sarpong, Deputy General Secretary told the Times in an interview yesterday.

He said the party has already opened nominations for interested parliamentary aspirants to file to contest the December election on its ticket, adding "a lot of people are expressing their interest in contesting for us".

He said "although some parties are claiming to have strong holds we will ensure that we capture as many seats as we can".

Mr Sarpong said "we believe the conditions under which the people of Ghana find themselves is not the best but the GNP is here to correct the defects".

He said the party if voted into power will wage economic war to transform the economy of Ghana adding "we always have to seek first the economic freedom and all other developments will be created".
