A contender for the national chairman position of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Stephen Ayesu Ntim, has pledged to win more votes from the Brong-Ahafo region for the NPP during the 2016 national polls.
He expressed grave concern over the large number of votes that the NDC had been receiving from the Brong-Ahafo Region in the previous elections, stressing that he would work hard to end the NDC’s dominance in the area.
Mr. Ntim said traditionally, the region, the Eastern and the Ashanti Regions are strongholds of the NPP, but lamented the fact that the NDC was trying to claim monopoly over Brong-Ahafo, “and I won’t accept that.”
“The NPP is down in the Brong-Ahafo Region,” the NPP national chairman hopeful, who hails from the area, said in a chat on Kessben Fm, that he was the surest bet to secure the region for the NPP in 2016.
Mr. Ntim, who had contested for the NPP chairman position twice and lost, said he was more experienced now to occupy the position of national chairman of the NPP to face the NDC in 2016.
According to him, he wants to leave a legacy as someone who once worked hard as NPP chairman to wrest political power from the NDC, and charged the party’s delegates to vote massively for him.
He said the NPP’s wish of winning the 2016 elections would be a mirage if the party was not united, stressing, “I am the real unifier so the party’s delegates should vote for me.”
Mr. Ntim said he had embarked upon his campaign across the country in a decorous manner, stressing that the party ought to work against any act that has the tendency of dividing its front.
