The former chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Jake Obetsebi Lamptey has urged the members of the party to rally behind the new executives to \u201csweep out\u201d the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe party has chosen new executives and we have to support these new executives for them to be successful because without their success, we have no success.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk about the positive things, let\u2019s talk about the new hopes that we have as a party. Let\u2019s help the new executives to sweep the NDC out of the office and the NPP into office,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey who contested with Paul Afoko, Stephen Ntim, Fred Oware in the chairmanship race of the NPP only polled 66 votes with some attributing his defeat to his poor human relations.<\/p>\n
But speaking on the\u00a0Citi Breakfast Show<\/b>, Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey expressed his surprise at the defeat saying emphatically that \u201cthe performance itself is not the issue, it is the result that is obviously surprising. I think perhaps if I had lost my one or two votes that wouldn\u2019t have been more disappointing. But losing a lot of votes, the loss is emphatic.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was however quick to add that the reason for his defeat was totally irrelevant saying,\u201cwhat has happened has already happened and gone.\u201d<\/p>\n
In that regard, he stressed the need for the party to surge forward by supporting its new executives.<\/p>\n
