With barely eight days to the National Executives Election of the News Patriotic Party (NPP) in Tamale, some aspirants have expressed concern about what they describe as \u00a0\u2018\u2019dirty campaign and politics of insults\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

One such person is Mr. Kwabena Agyepong, a leading contender for the General Secretary position of NPP who has called on delegates to disregard the propaganda painting him black.<\/p>\n

The very unhappy Kwabena Agyepong in an interview on<\/span> Eyewitness News<\/em><\/strong> said it is important all contestants restrict themselves to a positive campaign.<\/p>\n

According to him, some persons are campaigning in the Northern region, saying, \u2018\u2019\u2026 if Kwabena Agyepong is in charge of the party then Dr. Bawumia<\/span> has no chance to become presidential candidate<\/span>, and many such disgusting propaganda.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I think it is totally uncalled for; no such thing has happened, it\u2019s a pure concoction and fabrication\u2026,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The former Press Secretary<\/em> to Ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor said this kind of campaigning is untypical of the NPP.<\/p>\n

He called on other aspirants to be engaged in issue based campaign.\u00a0 \u2018\u2019My campaign has been issues based, [I have not made] one statement against anybody<\/span>; I think it is very important that we restrict ourselves to a positive campaign,\u2019\u2019 he opined.<\/p>\n

Mr Agyepong also stated that unlike some other aspirants, he has and will never campaign on anybody\u2019s popularity, according to him the delegates will vote for him because of his competence and record of selfless service to the party.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I have never campaigned on anybody\u2019s popularity, I will never tie my apron strings to an individual, I will tie it to the party,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

He revealed that he has lodged complaints to the National Executive Committee of the party about the some aspirants are spreading falsehood about him.<\/p>\n

The NPP will on the 12 of April, 2014 elect new national executives in Tamale.<\/p>\n
