The New Patriotic Party may be struggling to find individuals of reputable standing and capability to lead the party into the 2024 parliamentary elections. In the Bongo and Bolgatanga constituencies, for example, the party has no individual who can stand against the NDC and its candidates.
This is according to Jonathan Abdallah Salifu, the Upper East Regional Communication Officer for the NDC. Mr. Abdallah Salifu said this when he spoke on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show today.
“Looking at what is going on, I have been saying that there are some constituencies where they have no candidates at all in this coming general election; a constituency like Bongo, a constituency like Bolgatanga. Who are they going to present? There’s nobody.”
“People do not want to contest, but they are forcing them. We [the NDC] have retired them but I do not know, it is like they want to bring back the retirees. This is a fact,” he said.
In the Bongo Constituency, for example, Mr. Adballah Salifu suggested that the NPP may be forced to rely on the current Communication Director for the Upper East Region, Peter Ayinbisa; a spent force in politics in the Bongo constituency.
The Regional Communication Officer for the NDC spoke about the just ended ward elections and commended those who were involved in the process for the peaceful conduct of the election.
