THE NEW Patriotic Party’s (NPP) branch in UK and Ireland has expressed concern about recent comments from Messrs Kennedy Kankam, Kennedy Agyepong, Nana Adu Asabre, P.C. Appiah Ofori, Appiah Stadium and other party members in the media describing their outbursts as “ridiculous, unacceptable and must stop.”

A statement issued from London and signed by Nana Yaw Sarpong, Communications Officer of NPP UK and Ireland said “Instead of campaigning and telling the rank and file what steps they would take to improve and strengthen our party in our constituencies and polling stations they are engaging in a fruitless war of insults on radio stations which does not do us any good.”

The statement noted, “NPP UK and Ireland wishes to appeal to the National Executive to read the riot act and remind all party members to be mindful of the party’s disciplinary code of conduct enshrined in our party’s constitution.”

“Our National Executive must enforce discipline on all members. It is a mistake for anyone to think because of their financial, physical, spiritual or mental capabilities, they are bigger than the party. People come and go but the party will live on. We appeal to our Council of Elders to do more to support the National Executive in mediating and finding lasting solutions.”

“We call on presidential aspirants, Kwame Kodua, Professor Frimpong Boateng, Alan Kyerematen, Nana Akufo-Addo, Isaac Osei and their respective campaign teams to be civil and disciplined in their campaigns and concentrate on telling our party members and potential delegates their vision and direction for the party and why they should be elected as flag bearer to lead the party to victory over the failing NDC government in 2012.”

“Our party must present a message and an image that will resonate with the Ghanaian people and that means our leaders, our members of parliament especially those in marginal seats must interact with the people and apply decorum in all their activities. NPP or any political party in Ghana cannot expect to do well in any local or general election without a united and focused front.”
