The
opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has given its parliamentary
candidates who have failed to launch their campaigns for the 2016
general elections up to tomorrow to do so or face disciplinary action.
The
party has less than seven months to campaign as it seeks to overturn
its defeat to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the
2012 general elections.
The National Campaign Co-ordinating
Council of the party has expressed worry that some of its parliamentary
candidates are not on the ground in their constituencies working to
secure victory for its flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
An
internal memo signed by the head of the national campaign, Peter Mac
Manu, and sighted by Class News, gives parliamentary candidates up to
today to return to their constituencies to work or face the wrath of the
party.
The party has further directed its constituency
executives to report MPs who fail to show up in the constituencies by
April 22 for disciplinary action to be taken against them.
Ghana goes to the polls on November 7 to elect a new President and 275 Members of Parliament. |
