The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP), Women Organizer for Akuapem South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Barbara Sampana expressed her frustration over the suspension of its parliamentary primary.
She said the suspension of the constituency poll coupled with the party’s continuous silence on rescheduling a date for the exercise is a development that is unhealthy for Akuapem South and the NPP’s national front at large.
The NPP, before its nationwide primaries on January 27, 2024, to elect parliamentary candidates at constituencies where it has sitting Members of Parliaments suspended the poll of some areas including Akuapem South over issues of court injunction among others.
Commenting on the matter, Madam Sampana expressed that neither an official communique nor a new date has been communicated to the leadership of the constituency on holding their polls to elect a parliamentary candidate.
According to the Women Organiser, the absence of a Parliamentary Candidate for the area is not only affecting their campaign within the constituency but also their inability to sell the party’s flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to the people without a parliamentary candidate.
She then admonished the National Executive of the party to fastrack their discussions around the affected constituencies amid resolving all issues at hand to pave the way for them to go to the polls to elect a leader to lead the area for the forthcoming December 7, 2024, general elections.
Barbara Sampana used the opportunity and entreated the party faithful in the area to exercise some patience as the leadership of the party will soon fix a new date for its primary.
