The Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko, has appealed to the rank and file of the party to help him unite all feuding factions within the party.<\/p>\n
Mr. Afoko and his General Secretary<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0Kwabena Agyepong\u00a0have both been under fire<\/strong><\/span><\/a> for\u00a0taking unilateral decisions which according to some members, were not in the best interest of the NPP.<\/p>\n Since his election as party chair, he has had a hard time undertaking his duties due to seeming division between the camps of presidential hopefuls, Nana Akufo-Addo and Alan Kyerematen.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”nJAKfBagyJzzxtrxsZ3tYwyBQtpEflaW”]It has been alleged that Afoko is being\u00a0used as a conduit to promote Kyeremanten\u2019s presidential aspirations<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>while some have even called for the dismissal of Agyepong<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n But addressing some representatives from the palace of the Builsa Chief in the Upper East Region, Mr. Afoko asked for support to deliver his duties as the party chairman.<\/p>\n \u201cPlease let\u2019s interact. I need your help to do what I have started to do and along the way we can help each other\u2026\u201d he pleaded.<\/p>\n He also pledged his commitment to resolving the impasse between the feuding factions within the NPP saying, \u201cwe will resolve all the feuding problems in the party. We have addressed those difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n Mr. Afoko said the NPP as a political party is currently in transition and will come out strong in order to govern the nation in 2016.<\/p>\n \u201cI want to assure you that we will take notice of what you have said. We are also aware of the effects on the party and its image but this is what happens in almost every transition,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n Speaking on behalf of the delegation, Alhaji Osman Alidu said the Builsa community will work with Mr. Afoko.<\/p>\n He said: \u201cWe all belong to this very party, however we need unity in the party. All NPP executives should iron out their differences and unite the party, when we see this\u2026 we will rally behind the party.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Marian Efe Ansah\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana
