According to an audio message Mac Manu received, the queenmother argued that many voters abstained from voting due to frustrations with the current system. She claimed that the delegates, who are polling station executives responsible for electing presidential and parliamentary candidates, were receiving money, which was being publicly displayed to ordinary voters.<\/p>\n<p>The queenmother pointed out that this practice created resentment among the general electorate, who felt undervalued compared to the delegates. \u201cThe ordinary voters realise that, \u2018Herh, so we in general elections, we go and vote; you don\u2019t appreciate us and these delegates are given this kind of treatment,\u2019\u201d she remarked. She suggested that the NPP should abolish the delegate system, a proposal that Mac Manu said deserved serious consideration.<\/p>\n<p>Expanding on the issue, Mac Manu highlighted the disconnect between the delegates and the grassroots during election campaigns. He explained that while polling station executives, who make up the delegates, work hard, their efforts are often seen as insufficient by the broader party base. This perceived inequality leads to dissatisfaction among voters who feel that the delegates are benefiting from large sums of money while the general electorate is ignored.<\/p>\n<p>Mac Manu stressed that the NPP must address these concerns to maintain unity within the party and ensure that all members feel valued. He called for a reassessment of the delegate system to avoid further alienation of the party\u2019s core supporters. \u201cOur core members will not feel that they have not been treated well,\u201d he concluded, emphasizing the importance of tackling these issues for the party\u2019s long-term success.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Peter Mac Manu Peter Mac Manu, the former national chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for a review of the party\u2019s delegate system, suggesting that it could play a significant role in the party\u2019s future electoral success.
