Peter Mac Manu, a former National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has emphasized that the party knows the importance of unity after the August 26 Super Delegates Conference.
He adds that the party, in its bid to ‘break the 8’ has put in place enough measures to ensure that all aspirants rally round the winner of the November 2023 flagbearership contest.
When asked about concerns that beyond the August 26 vote, “the party may be fragmented, and how he sees those views, he said the party had passed that stage.
“Ohhhhh, please you should go and ask this question in 1996, today people are wide awake in democracy. I won’t answer this question.”
When pushed by Oyerepa TV journalist Kwesi Parker-Wilson, MacManu hit back: “ I am at liberty not to answer, you can’t force me. I am at liberty not to answer because it is an archaic question.
“I am a modern man, I don’t answer questions that are old and archaic... Please, I am not ready for reporters who ask archaic questions. You think we are fools in the NPP? And that we don’t know what it takes to break the 8?
“We know that we need unity and everybody is prepared for that, what is the meaning of internal democracy and internal election?” he stressed.
Mr Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai Nimoh had nine votes each, thus tying at the fifth position.
The rest were Kwabena Agyei Agyepong; Six, Joe Ghartey, Four, Kwadwo Poku, three, and Kofi Konadu Apraku zero.
There were a total of 923 valid votes cast.
