The Deputy Central Regional
Chairperson of Loyal Ladies, the women’s wing of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
Eva Cofie, has admonished members of the group not to interfere in the upcoming
parliamentary primaries slated for April 25.
“The neutrality of our group will go a long
way to create a conducive atmosphere to ensure peace, unity and stability in
the party to help retain our 19 parliamentary seats and increase the
presidential votes in the region,” she said.
Mrs Cofie made the call at the inauguration of
the Agona East branch of the Loyal Ladies at Mankrong-Junction in the Agona
East Constituency in the Central Region geared towards supporting and assisting
the presidency and the Members of Parliament (MPs) in the region to win the upcoming
elections.
She pledged the Loyal Ladies’ continued loyalty
to the NPP and advised them to work harder devoid of hatred, acrimony,
bickering and divisiveness in order to strengthen the fortunes of the party to
make it more attractive to new and floating voters.

Charge of Tertiary Education and Agona East Constituency parliamentary
candidate for the NPP, commended the ladies for their efforts and preparedness
towards securing the seat and winning the presidential election in the December
7 polls.
He lauded the Loyal Ladies for obviously
demonstrating what men could do women were equally up to that task and tasked
them to sustain the momentum of retaining the party in power in 2021 and beyond
and assured them of the party’s readiness to support and assist their
activities since women had influence on national issues including politics.
Dennis Armah-Frempong, the District Chief
Executive (DCE) for Agona East, praised the Ladies for the efforts being made
to assist and support the party to deliver its mandatory obligations to the
nation and charged them to intensify their house-to-house campaign to explain
why four more years was needed to enable the president accomplish his vision
for the country.

Chairman of the NPP, appealed to the group to avoid behaviours that would ward
off people from joining the party.
