The 2016 Presidential Candidate of the New Patriotic Party Nana Addo-Dankwa Akuffo Addo has admonished the party’s supporters to eschew all acrimonies and internal party wrangling that might have ensued during the run up to the parliamentary primaries.

In a statement issued on Sunday June 14th 2015, Nana Addo congratulated all executives, delegates and aspirants for their enormous role in conducting a peaceful election.

“I congratulate all party executives, delegates and aspirants for the peaceful, credible, efficient and successful manner in which the elections, the last in the series of our internal contests, were conducted. They were exciting and competitive. The high level of participation, enthusiasm and camaraderie that the elections generated among our activists gives an indication of our collective energy and commitment to the struggle ahead in 2016” he said.

Nana Akuffo Addo further called on all in the party to rise above all divisive tendencies that might have arisen as a result of the contest in the parliamentary primaries. He called on all to form a common force and fight for victory and to show the ruling National Democratic Congress that they (NPP) are capable of winning next year’s general elections.

“Internal party contests are not about winners and losers. They are about the party winning.

Thus, in the true spirit of our party’s tradition, I urge all party members and sympathisers to rally behind their respective parliamentary candidates to strengthen further our resolve and singleness of purpose to capture power in 2016. I also respectfully appeal to those who were successful on the day to reach out and bring on board their fellow aspirants who did not win. Unsuccessful aspirants should in their turn also reciprocate this gesture. To the sitting MPs who lost, I applaud their service to our party and nation and ask them not to be disheartened. They have important roles to play in the forward march of the party” he added in a statement.

The NPP went to the polls on Saturday to elect parliamentary candidates to represent the party in the various constituencies in the 2016 general election. This exercise however excluded 30 other constituencies that are also expected to hold same in two weeks. Several bigwigs of the party and incumbent MP’s lost their bid.
