The Chairman of the National Campaign for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dan Botwe has expressed disappointment regarding the approach taken by certain members and executives from the Ashanti Region in addressing their grievances through media channels rather than utilizing established internal party mechanisms.
Mr. Botwe has asserted that such actions not only serve to disrupt the unity within the party but also constitute a breach of the NPP’s constitution.
His remarks come in the wake of a petition submitted by six elected executives from the Ashanti Region to the national leadership, highlighting concerns over the conduct of the Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
The executives in their petition claimed the Chairman’s alleged negligence of duty is adversely affecting the party’s progress in the region.
Speaking at the inauguration of the party’s campaign team in the Ashanti Region, Dan Botwe stressed the importance of aggrieved party members utilizing internal structures to address their concerns.
“If you have a grievance talk to people to solve it, if you go to the radio station and discuss it what do you achieve by doing that? We’re in a contest with others and we have to send a message that we are disciplined and focused and it’s important that we apply all those things in resolving our problems,” he said.
Chief of Staff at the Presidency, Akosua Frema Osei Opare added that leading members of the NPP have intervened to resolve the issues within the party’s leadership in the Ashanti Region.
“I have noticed a lot of happenings, but I have noticed that it’s been resolved, as people have sat down and jaw jaw and have understood each other, there’s no problem. I’m strongly convinced that the conviction, and love for the party is so supreme that people were willing to put away all differences and rally together and put Ashanti forward to become the biggest contributor to the breaking the 8.”
The Ashanti regional chairman of NPP, Bernard Antwi Boasiako urged unity among the executives going into general elections.
“In our companies, offices sometimes we have some misunderstandings, but it doesn’t mean we are not united. NPP we are poised to unite and win the 2024 elections, winning is not negotiable, we are united ever. We are united as a strong party to break the 8, we cannot disappoint Ghanaians and the Ashanti region.”
