Discerning Voters, a group of independent professionals of the National Democratic Congress, on Tuesday stated their commitment to rally undecided voters to ensure victory for the party in the December 2012 polls.
"We are committing to win 80% of undecided voters for the President through an ongoing peaceful, yet robust and massive strategy that will change the dynamics of Ghanaian politics."
The Discerning Voters said this at a media briefing to inaugurate the Group in Accra.
Mr Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, senior sports journalist and the Convener of the message noted that the Group was inspired by President John Mahama's sense of maturity, humility, competence and continuous dedication to the needs of Ghanaians.
"If there ever was a man who has made such tremendous impression and impact as President of his country in just four months, then that man is President John Mahama, and surely this man deserves to continue in office as our President"
He noted that the Group had begun massive campaign in villages to inform the electorate about what the NDC had to offer, adding "we want to encourage you to join us to stand up for Ghana, stand up for truth and stand for President John Mahama".
According to Mr Ampofo Ankrah, the decision to campaign for the NDC was not instigated by any form of financial gains, as speculated among a section of the public.
"So confident are we in the Better Ghana Agenda that many of us have resigned from our jobs and put our businesses on hold to ensure this humble desire by President Mahama to continue to save the ordinary Ghanaians…"
Nana Yaw Agyemang, a television sports commentator, who also declared his support for President Mahama, stated that he had a mind of his own and therefore decided on what he considered to be right.
"I cannot be pushed around by anybody, neither can anyone influence me to do anything, but this is to set an example for those who are afraid to declare their stand. I believe President Mahama is the best person to lead the country.
