Gbevlo-Lartey, Stay-Off Our Elections – NPP Youth Group

Ahead of the NPP’s national delegates’ conference slated for Saturday April 12, 2014, a youth group of the party, Patriotic Youth Activists, has issued a stern warning to the National Security Coordinator, Mr. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey to stay off the party’s internal election.

In a statement issued in Kumasi and signed by the group’s spokesperson, Sarfo Acheampong, the group noted that they are reliably informed that in the lead up to the 2012 general election Mr. Gbevlo-Lartey was privy and in fact had copies of the list and contacts of the party’s polling agents through an insider at the party’s secretariat.

They further stated in the statement that “We are aware that the National Security is in custody of our party’s delegate list with their respective contacts and in a much calculated scheme targeting to destroy and smear the campaign of especially Mr. Yaw Buaben Asamoa and Mr. Kwabena Agyepong.”

They questioned the motivation and spirited involvement of the National Security Coordinator to conspire and work against Mr. Yaw Buaben Asamoa and Mr. Kwabena Agyepong.

The statement concluded by warning “the National Security Coordinator to Stay Off our elections and also caution the conspiracy in the party headquarters who are making such information available to the National Security to desist from this wicked activity”.

In the last week Mr. Owusu Afriyie’s campaign has been accused of indulging in dirty campaigning by both the Buaben Asamoa and Kwabena Agyepong

In a related story, the Deputy Sports Minister and former NDC Youth Organizer, Joseph Yamin, has requested the party delegates imploring them to retain the incumbent General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie aka Sir John.

Below is the full statement:

GBEVLO-LARTEY, STAY-OFF OUR ELECTIONS

Recent happenings in our party has given us reason to question the active involvement of the National Security Coordinator, Mr. Larry Gbevlo-Lartey and wish to unequivocally warn him to Stay Off our internal election which is scheduled for Tamale on April 12, 2014.

We are reliably informed that in the lead up to the 2012 general election through what still remains an illusion to us and many party people and contributed immensely to our lost in the election, Mr. Gbevlo-Lartey was privy and in fact had copies of the list and contacts of our party’s polling agents.

We are aware that the National Security is in custody of our party’s delegate list with their respective contacts and in a much calculated scheme targeting to destroy and smear the campaign of especially Mr. Yaw Buaben Asamoa and Mr. Kwabena Agyepong.

We are in the known of the National Security’s agenda to derail the campaign of these fine gentlemen of our party following a recent survey instructed by Mr. Gbevlo-Lartey which puts the two on top.

It beats our imagination how the National Security Coordinator is vigorously involved to at-all-cost work against the frontrunners in this contest.

We are by this statement warning the National Security Coordinator to Stay Off our elections and also caution the conspiracy in the party headquarters who are making such information available to the National Security to desist from this wicked activity.

We cannot afford to lose 2016 and are ready to stand against any machinations aimed at keeping our party in opposition.

Long live NPP!

2016 is a Must!!

Signed

Sarfo Acheampong
