elections to be cancelled and re-run<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\nNii Adjei Tawiah and another aspirant, lawyer Philip Addion boycotted the election last Sunday citing \u201clack of transparency in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
They also accuse\u00a0the party\u2019s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong of \u201crushing\u201d the primaries despite several concerns that were raised.<\/p>\n
But in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> the General Secretary asked the losers to be charitable enough to accept what he calls the majority\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n\u201cElections are tough, during competition; it generates a lot of heat. Toes of one or two people will be stepped on as part of politics. We will always come around, we will need a lot of diplomacy, tact and cajoling people for them to understand and for them to be charitable enough to accept the majority\u2019s view. Majority is about majority rule so we should respect the majority\u2019s mandate. None of us can impose ourselves on the people of our party and the various constituencies know who they want to represent them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Kwabena Agyepong further explained that prior to the Klottey Korle’s primary,\u00a0\u201ceverything was ready, the ballot papers printed and the statement of poll had been out in those constituencies, everything was set for July 25th. Except that the NPP members took the case to court. As soon as the court decided on the matter and dismissed those applications we were then at liberty to go ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
