REJECT ALL INDEPENDENT PCS-THEY ARE NDC SPONSORED CANDIDATES-AMANKWAH.

Ghanaians especially the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has been urged to reject all those calling themselves as Independent candidates, especially in the Ashanti region in the forthcoming general elections slated for 7^th December, 2016 because they are National Democratic Congress (NDC) sponsored candidates.

The former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Mr.Robert Yaw Amankwah made the allegation at the Nhyiaeso Constituency 2016 campaign launch held at Patasi in Kumasi.

According to him, NPP believes in internal democracy hence contest are opened for interested Persons who wish to contest as Parliamentary candidates on the ticket of the Party and couldn’t understand why some refuse to offer themselves for the contest whiles others after losing in the primaries insist to go independent.

“I am telling you that, when they come to you that they are NPP sympathizers or supporters reject them because they are all NDC sponsored candidates”, he alleged.

The former Ashanti regional Chairman of NPP who was not happy about the use of media houses to settle their grievances instead of the laid down grievances procedures in the party ,cautioned the rank and file of the Party, especially the youth to desist from going to radio stations in their attempt to settle any grievances.

Mr.Robert Amankwah reminded the rank and file of the Party that, their various campaign rallies among others funfairs would be a waste if they fail to embark on aggressive house to house campaign to reach to the masses after the official campaign launch. He therefore charged the rank and file of the party to start aggressive house to house to spread the good policies and programmes of Nana Akufo Addo to enable the party recapture power to improve the wellbeing of the economy.

On his part, Mr.Hackman Owusu Agyemang, a former Minister of Water resources, Works and Housing under former President J.K.Akufo’s administration entreated the supporters of the NPP to be extra vigilant especially on the day of the elections since the referee of the election, Electoral Commission’s Chairpersons actions and inactions have indicated that, she can’t be trusted to be fair.

The veteran politician said NPP needs to win by 20 percent margin between NDC to ensure a convincing victory.”We (NPP) need to embark on serious campaign from now and more focus should be put on one on one or house to house campaign to help maximize votes for both Parliamentary and Presidential candidates”.

He appealed to the people of Nhyiaeso to vote massively for both Kennedy Kwasi Kankam ,2016 Parliamentary candidate who he described as a committed party man as well as Nana Akufo Addo to win at least 90 percent of the votes.
