NPP flagbearer aspirants sign undertaking not to resign from party if they lose Nov 4th elections
The four candidates running for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer position have agreed not to leave the party in the event that any of them loses this Saturday’s primary.
The candidates and the National Council of Elders met and decided on the choice.
After the meeting, the party’s general secretary, Justin Frimpong Koduah, spoke to the media and announced that the candidates had also pledged to respect the outcome of the primary and prioritize the party’s interests.
“We were able to get all the four aspirants to sign an undertaking and in summary, they are to accept the primary results, and promote peace and cohesion,” Koduah said. “If they don’t win, they will not resign from the party and, support the winner of the primary.”
In addition, the candidates have pledged to “respect the decision of our party’s delegates and ensure and enforce the mechanisms that have been established by the party as well as work within the timelines and duration that have been established by the party from now till the results are declared.”
At the opening of the conference, the Chairman of the Council of Elders lamented the plight of the party, saying that certain people’s self-interest had driven it into disarray.
