NPP launches new party card in the Volta Region

Dan Botwe, General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, has warned members of the party against sowing seeds of confusion within the party.

He was speaking at the launch of the party's new identity card at the North Dayi Constituency at Kpando on Wednesday. Botwe stated that the party is a disciplined group and would not allow people to disturb the party with petty squabbles and bickering.

"We can not preach against indiscipline and practice it within our party", he said. He, therefore, urged constituency and regional executives of the party to ensure that disciplinary committees were formed. ''Anyone found wanting would be disciplined.''

Botwe said it was the determination of the party to win the 2004 elections, adding, that the party was making all efforts to win seats in the Volta Region. He, therefore, charged members of the party in the region to analyse the last election results in their respective constituencies and build on it.

"We have no room for executives who do not perform, all should join hands and forge ahead to win more people for the party.'' He advised constituency and polling station executives to register members in their respective constituencies to be abreast with their number.

He called on the people of the Volta Region to shun the lies being peddled by the opposition against the party and rally behind the government to enable it carry out its developmental programmes.

Emmanuel Kenwood Nuworsu, Regional Chairman of the party, asked those who continue to compare the 20 years rule of PNDC/NDC with the 20 months rule of the NPP to assess and contrast the developmental programmes of the NPP to that of the former government. Mr Daniel Dickson Dzandu, 81, of the North Dayi constituency of the party was the first to be issued with the new party identity card.
