A leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Brong-Ahafo Region,\u00a0 on Tuesday called on the Council of Elders of the party to\u00a0unite the\u00a0feuding factions in the party.<\/p>\n
Mr Frank Opoku Adjapong noted that the perceived factions within the NPP\u00a0is getting to\u00a0alarming proportions,\u00a0 and if immediate steps are not taken to address them,\u00a0 it would cause the NPP dearly in the 2016 general elections.<\/p>\n
Mr Adjapong emphasized that the leadership of the party ought to re-think and strategize well,\u00a0 to be able to position the party in a way that would not ward off\u00a0 floating voters.<\/p>\n
He observed that even though every political party has its weakness and internal problems, the current situation in the NPP, as the major opposition party, is not the best,\u00a0 and something ought to be done in the interest of all members.<\/p>\n
Mr Adjapong stressed that all candidates contesting to lead the party in 2016 general elections\u00a0ought to be given equal opportunities to campaign and market themselves well before the National Delegates Congress.<\/p>\n
He advised leadership of the party not to create any impression of supporting a particular candidate,\u00a0 as that would not augur well, if the party was bent on winning the 2016 election.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this crucial moment, we don\u2019t just need a flagbearer to lead us in 2016, but we need a winnable candidate,\u201d he said,\u00a0 and called on the leadership of the party to open up to all members, strengthen internal structures and accept new ideas, to enhance the party\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n
Mr Adjapong observed that the internal trading of insults, accusations and counter accusations,\u00a0 and petty squabbles ought to be nipped in the bud,\u00a0 and advised candidates contesting for the flagbearership and their followers to avoid tendencies that would create enmity and disunity in the party.<\/p>\n
