\n Sandema (U\/E), May 12, GNA – Mrs Agnes Asangalisa Chigabatia, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Builsa North, Upper East Region, has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to unite to break the eight-year rule of governing parties in Ghana.<\/p>\n
She said the various camps presently found within the party, if not stopped, would affect its quest to win power in the next elections after the current administration.<\/div>\n
Mrs Chigabatia said all members, from the constituency to the national level, must put their differences behind and unite as one formidable party to forge ahead for victory in the 2024 Presidential and Parliamentary Election.<\/div>\n
The main focus should be the general election and not internal party wrangles, especially as the NPP prepared to elect its regional and national executives, and subsequently a flag bearer, she said.<\/div>\n
Mrs Chigabatia, also a former Upper East Deputy Regional Minister, who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview at Sandema, the Builsa North Capital, insisted that \u201cthese camps are not going to help us.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cAfter everything, what time are we going to use to heal the wounds before the main elections? There should not be any dispute or court cases after our internal elections,\u201d she advised.<\/div>\n
She called for filling all the cracks within the party in the Builsa North Constituency and across the country to ensure unity and victory in 2024, saying \u201cDivided we fall, united we stand.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt is a disgrace that a big political party like the NPP has only one MP in the Upper East Region. I lose my sleep over that. We need to work together.\u201d<\/div>\n
Mrs Chigabatia appealed to the leadership to listen to the concerns of those in the constituencies and at the grassroots and that; \u201cIf we those on the ground say someone is not a winnable candidate, listen to us.\u201d<\/div>\n
She reminded leadership and the rank and file of the NPP that they needed floating voters to retain power in 2024, \u201cSo we need to work hard to grab all the floating voters in all constituencies across the country.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s work hard and forget these camp issues; Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Mr Alan Kyeremanten, Mr Boakye Agyarko, Mr Joe Ghartey, and all the rest need us, as NPP members,\u201d she said.<\/div>\n
\u201cWhen we start with camps right from polling stations to constituency to regional level, it will go against us. So let\u2019s see to the election of the executives first…\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
