New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has charged the party’s newly elected parliamentary candidates to work hard to help the party unseat the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2016 elections.
[contextly_sidebar id=”l6mTPzpMgn1TJqIiklzVnXMD8P6dHmEF”]“For the great majority of Ghanaians, the NPP is the obvious alternative to the failing government of the Mahama-led NDC. It is for us to show them that we can win the 2016 elections, so that we can take our nation out of the desperate conditions into which she has been plunged and put her back onto the path of progress and prosperity,” he said.
Nana Addo made the charge in a statement copied to citifmonline.com.
He further congratulated the newly elected candidates and urged them to “reach out and bring on board their fellow aspirants who did not win.”
“Unsuccessful aspirants should in their turn also reciprocate this gesture. To the sitting MPs who lost, I applaud their service to our party and nation and ask them not to be disheartened. They have important roles to play in the forward march of the party,” he added.
He also admonished them to forge ahead, “in a united manner in our quest to restore hope to Ghanaians. This is our sacred duty. Let us be up and doing.”
The NPP went to the polls on Saturday to elect parliamentary candidates to represent the party in the various constituencies in the 2016 general election.
Some NPP bigwigs including Dr. Richard Anane and Dr. Afriyie Akoto were defeated in the primaries.
