Long years of party service not criteria-NPP organizer
Kumasi, Oct. 9, Ghanadot/GNA- A Constituency Organizer of
the New Patriotic Party, has stated that it was dangerous
for the party to use long years of membership and service as
a major criterion to select a flag bearer for the party in
the 2008 elections.
Mr Yaw Adjei Anhwere, Atwima-Nwabiagya constituency
Organiser, who stated this, said in as much as long years of
party service was a plus, the aspirant's achievements within
and outside the party as well as his unifying posture must
also be a core factor in deciding who should lead the party.
In a statement issued in Kumasi on Tuesday, Mr Anhwere,
cautioned the party members against building cults around
some of the presidential aspirants.
Members, he said should note that, each of the aspirants is
capable of emerging as the winner and that there was the
need to assess their competencies to know their
capabilities.
Mr Anhwere cautioned against factionalism, which was
creeping into the party and said that should be avoided if
the party wants to win massively in the 2008 elections.
He said the NPP as a party was bigger than any of the
candidates and it was imperative that any action taken
conformed to the norms and principles of the party so that
its fortunes would continue to soar.
The Constituency Organiser called for a peaceful campaign
devoid of insults, innuendoes, personal attacks and
maligning.
