Elmina, Jan. 10, GNA – The former Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) constituency chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Ebenezer Agyeman-Kessie, has been dismissed from the party with immediate effect for alleged acts “contrary to the tenets and spirit of the party’s constitution”.
Nana Appiah-Korang, the constituency chairman who announced this at a press conference at Elmina on Wednesday, said the party had taken the decision because Mr Agyeman-Kessie had openly organized meetings in Elmina and appeared on an Elmina based FM station to announce his intention to contest the seat.
He said the decision to dismiss Mr Agyeman-Kessie was in line with Article 3 sub-section H of the party’s constitution. Nana Appiah-Korang said in as much as politics was a game of numbers, the party would not tolerate any member of the party who deliberately sacrificed discipline on the “altar of impunity and arrogance”.
He said this year’s elections were crucial for the party and that it would do everything possible to win to continue with the development projects started by President John Agyekum Kufuor.
l NPP could win in Biakoye based on goodwill-DCE
Nkonya, Jan 10, GNA – Mr Solomon Donkor, Jasikan District Chief Executive, has said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) could win in the Biakoye Constituency in this year’s general elections based on goodwill. He therefore urged the party’s activists to transform that goodwill into support and votes to enable the party to beat the NDC in particular and other parties this time round.
Addressing a get-together of party activists at Nkonya, Mr Donkor recalled that the NPP’s highest votes in the Volta region in the 2000 elections came from the constituency and wondered why the parliamentary seat continued to elude it election after election.
