Candidates vying for the Ejisu parliamentary ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been asked to avoid creating needless tension, cracks and damage to the cohesion of the party.
Nana Osei Bonsu, a youth activist of the party, noted aspirants who would receive the mandate of delegates to lead them to this year’s parliamentary election in the area, would need the support of all party supporters to win the seat.
“This is why a purely internal party election must never be reduced to a “do or die. Nobody should be reckless,” he said.
Nana Osei Bonsu advised party supporters “becoming a Member of Parliament (MP) is not the only way we can make ourselves useful to our community – help to make things better for our people”.
He was speaking at a press conference held at Kwamo, near Ejisu, to draw the attention of the national leadership to unhealthy developments in the area.
Three people are contesting the parliamentary primary election in the constituency – the incumbent MP and Deputy Minister of Roads and Highways, Mr Kwabena Owusu Aduomi, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Entrepreneurial and Innovation Programme (NEIP), Mr John Kumah and Madam Abena Pokuaa Amoah Boaitey, CEO of Golden Beach Hotels Group.
Nana Osei Bonsu asked aspirants to convince their supporters on how they would bring progress to the constituency, saying, “Telling naked untruths about other people for political gain is wrong, ugly and not a noble thing for anybody to do”. – GNA
