Ghana Palaver

The Palaver in a front page story says the on-going attrition between two main factions within the NPP, the pro-Kufuor group and the pro-Akufo Addo,which started after the Sunyani congress last October, took another turn when the parties Presidential candidate gave his Cape Coast MP, Ms Christine Churcher the snub in Cape Coast.

According to the Palaver, Mr J.A, Kufuor was in Cape Coast about two weeks ago for the funeral of the late Madam Araba Abbanba.

The paper says in order to give the late supporter a ?fitting? burial, the NPP made announcements on GBC?s Central Regional FM radio station Central to precede the funeral rites.

In the advertisements, the paper says, the names of the NPP leading members were mentioned as some of those to grace the occasion, but Mr Churcher?s name was conspicuously left out in the.

According to the Palaver, many Cape Coast residents took the omission for an oversight, however, to the utter dismay of many, when Mr Kufuor arrived for the funeral service, Mr Churcher was not in the high-powered delegation even though she was believed to be in Cape Coast at the time.

The paper questions whether Mr Churcher?s bid for re-election is on the line.
