AN aspiring parliamentary hopeful for the New Abirim constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Osei Frimpong, has urged other aspirants and their supporters to ensure their utterances and deeds were geared towards positioning the party to win the 2012 elections.
He said aspirants and their supporters should not resort to strategies that would divide and weaken the support base of the party, a situation that would affect the party’s aim of winning the 2012 general elections.
Mr Frimpong, who was addressing the media in Accra, noted that since 1992, he had observed that anytime NPP parliamentary aspirants used clean campaign, avoided throwing mud at each other and united after the primaries their chances of wining the elections were always greater.
Four other aspirants, popular actress, Ms Grace Omaboe, affectionately called Maame Dokono, an Engineer, Mr Daniel Kwaku Afriyie are challenging the Member of Parliament, Ms Esther Abena Dapaah in the party’s upcoming parliamentary primaries.
Mr Frimpong expressed optimism about his chances of winning the primary and maintaining the seat for the party and even increase the votes to ensure that the NPP flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo, win the 2012 elections.
He described himself as a consensus candidate whose deposition would even attract supporters of other party including those in the NDC to vote for the NPP for a landslide victory for the party.
He noted that when he was given the nod as the party’s candidate and ultimately wins the seat, he would operate an open door policy, represent the aspirations of the constituents and assist in making laws that would bring development to the nation.
