The General Secretary of New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dan Botwe has visited the family of the late John Achuliwor, NPP Member of Parliament (MP) for Navrongo Central Constituency to express the party’s condolences to them. Mr Achuliwor, who was also the Deputy Minister of Communications died in a car crash about three weeks ago.
Mr Botwe says he took the opportunity to meet party functionaries to know at first hand, preparations they were making towards the by-election announced by the Electoral Commission last Monday. The EC has announced that it would open the register for filing of nominations for the by-elections on February 27 and 28, towards the election, which would be held on March 25.
Mr Botwe said with about three by-elections ahead of the party, its resources would be over-stretched, adding that the Executive of the party in the affected constituencies must, therefore, work assiduously to retain and capture the seats, especially in the Wulensi constituency.
In an answer to a question from a member of the press, Mr Botwe said the party would open nominations for qualified persons to vie for the Navrongo Central seat “in accordance with the dictates of the party’s democratic principles”. He expressed optimism that the party’s would capture the Wulensi constituency seat in the forthcoming by-election.
