Northern Region NPP warns presidential aspirants

Tamale, July 9, GNA - The Northern Regional Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on Monday expressed concern about activities by some presidential aspirants in the region, which it said had the potential of disorganizing the Party.

A statement issued in Tamale and signed by Mr Clifford Braimah, the Regional NPP Secretary, said some presidential aspirants had entered constituencies in the region to organise party officers and potential delegates without notifying them.

"It has taken a lot of work and dedication to stabilise the Party in the region and such acts by the presidential aspirants have the potential of negating all that has been done and therefore throw the Party in the region into confusion".

The statement expressed the regional executive's resolve to resist any attempt by individuals or groups to undermine it, adding that there would be constant monitoring and moderating of activities of all aspirants or their agents in the region.

The statement urged the NPP to remain united before, during and after the selection of a presidential candidate and gave the assurance that the regional leadership would present equal opportunities to all potential aspirants.

It requested all potential aspirants and their agents to furnish the regional leadership with their proposed programmes for the region in advance for the leadership to notify the constituencies in good time. The statement appealed to all aspirants to go by the NPP's code of conduct and focus on issues that confront the Party and the nation, but not to discuss or attack personalities. 09 Jul. 07
