President Kufuor assures NPP
Presidential aspirants of neutrality
Accra, Oct. 16, Ghanadot/GNA - President John Agyekum Kufuor
has assured the Presidential aspirants of the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP) of his continued neutrality and total
support for whoever was chosen to lead the party to the 2008
polls.
The Presidency would not be put behind any particular
candidate to give him unfair advantage, his Press Secretary,
Mr Andrew Awuni, said in Accra on Tuesday.
He was sharing information with newsmen on the President's
family meeting with the aspirants held at the Castle, Osu,
on Monday.
The meeting was meant to discuss with them public response
to issues arising out of their campaigns.
The NPP's National Executive Officers and Party Elders
including Mr Samuel Odoi-Sykes and Madam Ama Busia also
attended.
Mr Awuni said President Kufuor drew attention to the need to
see the presidential race as an intra-party contest that
must be devoid of acrimony.
It was important therefore to ensure circumspection to
maintain the unity and cohesion of the party.
Mr Awuni said the meeting also discussed the processes
leading to the party's congress scheduled for December 22.
He said the deliberations were frank and cordial.
