Robert Kutin Jnr, the chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Central Region has asked for unity in the party to help retain power in 2024 and not make ‘breaking the 8’ just a slogan.
He also said he will not allow misunderstanding to thwart such effort.
He made this known on Sunday, January 15, when party members gathered in Cape Coast to patch the cracks in the party ahead of the 2024 general election.
Reconciling the New Patriotic Party’s rank and file in the Central Region served as the event’s subject.
The party’s leadership is optimistic that the action will ultimately bring the party together for victory in 2024 and further the “break the 8 agenda.”
“This affords us the opportunity to right our wrongs, better our rights and reason together as we lace our boots to break the eight. May we not be oblivious to the fact that breaking the eight goes beyond a tagline but to ensuring that we forge ahead with unity, hard work, peace and tolerance” he said.
When he retained his seat on Saturday (4 June) last year after polling 237 votes to beat his main contender Joseph Esibu who secured 196 votes, Robert Kutin Jnr said he is certain that the governing party would prevail in the area in the elections of 2024.
“It means hard work, I have led the party to victory on two occasions, so there is no doubt about that. I am going to call a stakeholder meeting so that we will discuss the way forward” he said after he won the election.
Regarding the vote margin following the internal polls conducted over the weekend, Kutin Jnr remarked that given how closely the polls were contested, the result was not unexpected.
In the middle of July, 2023, the NPP will elect its national executives.
The election also saw Takyi Mensah retaining his position as secretary, Dennis Percy Quansah elected as 1st vice chairman, Charles Kojo Odoom elected assistant secretary, with Charlotte Adwoa Antwi retaining her seat as women’s organiser.
