Power struggle could spell doom for NPP

Hohoe, Oct. 1 GNA - Mr. Kenwuud Nuworsu, Volta Regional Chairman of the New Patrotic Party (NPP) on Thursday cautioned aspirants that their quest to aspire to political position should not spell doom for the party and its structures.

Mr. Nuworsu, who was addressing delegates conference of the Hohoe-South and Hohoe-North Constituencies of NPP at Ve-Golokwati and Hohoe said their ability to manage the cracks that may braze the election trail has a potential to disunite their front.

He appealed to aspirants at the regional, national and Presidential levels to conduct themselves above reproach since the party was supreme to any individual interests.

He consequently cautioned members to rise up to the occasion, as the party was in its trying moments saying, "this was the first time a synchronized election was being held at the constituency, regional, national levels."

Mr John Peter Amewu, Hohoe District Chief Executive said elections are typical demonstration of grassroots participation in decision-making and governance, which should be devoid of antagonism.
