Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has stated that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) remains the only reliable alternative to rescue Ghanaians from the National Democratic Congress\u2019 abysmal performance which according to him has been characterized by \u201cpromise and fail\u201d in the last six years.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the New Patriotic Party\u2019s (NPP) 15th<\/sup> Extraordinary Conference in the Brong Ahafo Regional Capital, Sunyani, the former President said the NPP must remain united and focused on its mission to rescue the country from the quagmire of under-development.<\/p>\n This he says can be achieved not by the Flagbearer alone but by all members and parliamentary candidates once the party\u2019s close its ranks.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”kNwEc0MTEHBA0oTdegGK8XyyG5pkDlN8″]According to him, the party must be attractive to undecided Ghanaian voters to fall on the NPP as the only credible alternative.<\/p>\n \u201cWe must not take anything for granted. I believe it is the destiny of the NPP and it can get it. I turn to believe that NPP is the biggest party in the country; it is the biggest party and where the country is now, I believe that every citizen wanting change will know that is it the NPP he or she must cast their vote for but everybody wants to feel included so everybody must feel included and that means there is a responsibility on us to close our ranks and share the vision of rallying the entire nation to give our Flagbearer the 50% plus one at least. I am sure that if we put ourselves together we will get beyond 50% plus one; our candidate 54; 56 or even 56%. But first we must stay together and try to win people who are jittering to decide. Let\u2019s assure the country that we are ready to give the nation a change.<\/p>\n He admonished the Flagbearer and the parliamentary candidates to campaign solely on what solutions they have to offer to the country\u2019s problems, saying the NDC has failed to deliver on its promises.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to appeal to our flagbearer and to our parliamentary candidates that what should be at the centre of our campaign are solutions. We must tell people how we are going to solve the problems of Ghana for them. That\u2019s what they want to hear and that\u2019s what they want to know so we should tell them we can do it. The year that is left, I doubt if our opponents can say anything different from what they\u2019ve been saying all along; promise and fail over the past six years that\u2019s all it\u2019s been and that\u2019s all the people have seen from them. Let the people know that when the NPP comes we will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n The delegates\u2019 conference, an event recognised by the party\u2019s constitution to take place annually and ahead of a major election, took stock of recent happenings in the party agreed on a way forward into the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n Nana Akufo-Addo\u2019s campaign team for 2016 headed by former Chairman Peter Mac Manu, was also officially introduced together with the party\u2019s Parliamentary Candidates for 2016 elections.<\/p>\n Over three thousand delegates attended the conference together with top members of the elephant family at every level.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Ebenezer Afanyi Dadzie\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
