No decision on NPP’s parliamentary primaries yet – Afoko

National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Paul Afoko has dismissed directives making rounds over the parliamentary primaries of the party.

The directives are asking constituency executives interested in contesting the party's parliamentary primaries to tender in their resignations by end of the year and submit their CVs for pre-vetting.

“I wish to stress that the directive is unauthorized and must be ignored by all constituency executives across the country,” Mr Afoko said in a statement released on Friday, December 19, 2014.

He explained that under the party’s constitution only the National Executive Committee and the Steering Committee can take such decisions.

“…on this occasion, no such decision has been taken by any of the bodies empowered to do so,” he stressed.

“The constitution is the guiding document for our activities and I wish to implore all party members to remain calm and respect the party’s constitution.”

The NPP's internal reorganization ahead of the 2016 elections is expected to be climaxed by the election of the party's parliamentary candidates in 2015.
