A former contender for the National Democratic Congress'(NDC) ticket for Shai-Osudoku Dr. Michael Kpessa Whyte has called on his supporters to campaign for the party’s parliamentary candidate.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kpessah-Whyte lost the party’s primary to Mrs Linda Obenewa A. Ocloo on June 18, 2016.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kpessa- Whyte, who is the acting Executive Director of the National Service Secheme (NSS), lost after polling 3,372 against Mrs Ocloo’s 5,156 votes.<\/p>\n
She contested in the primary after her husband who was then the elected parliamentary candidate for the constituency died in a car crash in March 2016.<\/p>\n
Dr. Kpessah-Whyte asked his supporters to put the primary behind them and unite to ensure that they maintained the seat for the party.<\/p>\n
A reconciliation meeting was recently held between the two factions and the constituency executives.<\/p>\n
To demonstrate his readiness to help Mrs Ocloo win the seat, he presented NDC branded t-shirts, campaign posters and other party paraphernalia and 25 bags of rice worth GHC 30,000.<\/p>\n
He encouraged party members especially the campaign team to vigorously campaign for the candidate.<\/p>\n
He also advised the candidate to demonstrate true reconciliation and willingness to win by welcoming supporters of other candidates into her campaign team.<\/p>\n
Mrs Ocloo expressed joy and thanked Dr. Kpessah-Whyte for the move and promised to maintain the new found unity and peace in the party.<\/p>\n
