Leading New Patriotic Party (NPP) member Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko predicted that the party will win the presidential primary on November 4.
According to him, party members will back the candidate who prevails in the fiercely contested flagbearer contest.
The private attorney stated that the party is prepared to come together following the competition in a post on X.
“Finally, November 4 is just around the corner. The NPP that we know, once the party speaks and a new leader, with his new direction, is chosen, the Party will rally around him and support him and the cause of the collective. To this and all, we continue to pray…”
He went on to say that the NPP has so much freedom that people who have gained so much from its election victory are traveling the nation criticizing its leadership.
“… if you are a member or sympathiser, don’t be disillusioned by some of the unfettered expressions of harsh views, however critical, jaundiced or ungrateful they may sound.
“The NPP tolerates and even encourages dissent, including ones most caustic and undeserving. Some of those who were only yesterday, major beneficiaries of the party’s electoral fortunes and were tasked with the leadership responsibilities of helping the President deliver on his mandate, can be heard today leading to a crescendo what sounds like a chorus of doom.
Gabby added, “This may give the impression of disunity. But, no. It is what it is. It is what the NPP has always been, especially in periods of transition. Today, it is heightened and amplified by the speed and distance at which sensational news flies. Free expression is, indeed, the blood that flows through the veins of the Elephant”.
The prominent NPP member added that despite the difficulties facing the nation, Ghanaians would acknowledge that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo‘s administration has done a good job of maintaining the party’s progress.
He claimed that in spite of the economic difficulties, every effort is being made by the government to guarantee that citizens have access to the social amenities they require.
