  Former Regional Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper West Region have taken a bold step to support the DBI to spread the good message of the NDC. In a pioneering move, they have formed a coalition to propagate the party's message, moving door-to-door to educate voters to reduce spoiled ballots in the upcoming December 7th elections.

This proactive strategy may influence the election's outcome, considering the Upper West Region's crucial role in Gha...
