The New Patriotic Party (NPP) is to sanction polling station executives who vacate their posts in an electoral area and move to another electoral area without approval from their regional chairmen.
In furtherance
of that, regional secretariats have been asked to engage in an audit to delete
names of polling station executives who vacate their respective areas to live
elsewhere leaving the party work unattended to.
According to the leadership of the party,
polling station executives cannot stay elsewhere and work elsewhere which is
likely to affect the fortunes of the party in upcoming elections.
Robert Kutin,
the Central Regional Chairman of the NPP, made this known at the NPP National
Women’s Conference held in the Central Region.
He directed all party polling station executives to stay in their various areas and work hard to win more electorate for the party or be penalised and noted that “it is your responsibility as a polling station executive to be in your polling station before and after the elections, how can you be a polling station executive in Mankessim and stay in Accra, this is not right according to the NPP constitution.
“I
caution every polling station executive to stay in your various polling
stations and work hard to retain power in the 2020 elections and also to ensure
the four remaining parliamentary seats occupied by the National Democratic Congress
in the Central Region and other regions will be wrestled from them in the
impending general election.
“Just as we worked very hard to win the 19 seats
we currently occupy in the Central Region, we will intensify our work once
again to wrestle the four remaining seats from the National Democratic Congress
which can be achieved through your support and assistance, it is the
responsibility of every NPP member, supporter, well wisher and faithful to help
maintain our seats and wrestle those from the ‘orphan constituencies’ in the
2020 elections and beyond,” Mr Kutin intimated. -kasapafmonline.com
