The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Northern Regional council of elders have also kicked against the final delegates congress to elect the party\u2019s 2016 flag bearer.<\/p>\n

They argue that the outcome of the party\u2019s super delegates congress on Sunday clearly shows the need to present Nana Akufo-Addo as the flag bearer for 2016 without any opposition.<\/p>\n

They insist Akufo-Addo\u2019s overwhelming victory does not warrant another event to elect the person to lead the party.<\/p>\n

In the Northern Region, Akufo Addo polled 62 out of the 71 total votes cast.<\/p>\n

His closest contender, Alan Kwadwo Kyeremanteng only managed 4 votes.<\/p>\n

Chairman of the Northern Regional council of elders, Chief Mahama Braimah told Citi News<\/strong> that presenting Akufo-Addo as the flag bearer will help cut down cost.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWith Nana Addo as our flag bearer we will not waste resources to erect new bill boards and to market him because he has already been well marketed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief Mahama Braimah said Ghanaians need Akufo-Addo to fix the nation\u2019s ailing economy.<\/p>\n

He pleaded with all true party members to rally behind Nana-Akufo Addo for a resounding victory in 2016.<\/p>\n
