A Minister at the Office of the President, Ms Vicky Bright, has said victory for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the December polls is more important than the interest of any group or individual in the party.
She has, therefore, urged all individuals and groups who have differences with others in the party to bury the hatchet and forge ahead in unity to support the party’s flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and the 230 parliamentary aspirants to register a resounding victory for the party.
Ms Bright, speaking to the Daily Graphic, after she had organised a get-together for some polling station executives within the Ablekuma South where she had wanted to contest the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Nana Akomea, but later gave up because of some differences and misunderstanding.
According to her, the get-together was aimed at ironing out all the differences that erupted before and after the selection of Nana Akomea, “after all, if we believe in the ideals of the founding fathers of our political tradition, we must always put the interest of the party first in everything we do”.
She said with the solid foundation laid by the Kufuor Administration, it would be suicidal to pursue individual interests to bring division to the party and cause it to lose the 2008 election.
She urged the people to use their energies not in fighting each other but to undertake door-to-door campaigns to reiterate the good work of the NPP within its first two terms, and the reason why Ghanaians stood to gain if they voted for the NPP and not the NDC.
Some of the polling station executive the Daily Graphic spoke to commended Ms Bright for the move to reconcile the foot soldiers of the party.
