The race of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) parliamentary candidacy and its subsequent to the parliament has just started. And Strategically, this race is starting from the orphan constituencies because the party is ready to parent these constituencies. Aside these constituencies been the strongholds of the NDC, most of the candidates we presented to the constituents had negatives on them and their marketability was of much concern too.
The delegates have never disappointed before when it comes to the selection of who they want to lead them. But this time round the delegates are entreated to do more so that the job will be easier for the party in next year’s elections. The grassroots agitation of our party members are as a result of ineffectiveness of most of our members of parliament(MP). This became more evidence when the political science department of the University of Ghana released their research on the performance of the members of parliament. Why must opposition MPs perform well than MPs in power?
The loyalty and commitment to the party should guide and guard us in order to choose competent and marketable individuals who can give the party a massive victory in 2020 general elections. The decision of the delegates in the upcoming parliamentary primaries will have a greater effect on the 2020 elections. We should be weary of candidates who will monetize the process. The conscience of the delegates can’t be bought but it’s also prudent to be of much concern about those people.
As it’s been said all the time, NPP can’t let Ghanaians down since it’s the only party that has the track record of development and always bring policies that change the lives of the ordinary people. This is the best way of protecting and defending the party and making sure it retains power in 2020 and beyond. What’s worrying about most of our MPs is negligence and disrespectful to the party footsoldiers. Some of them have also arrogated themselves to thin gods, they have refused to listen to their constituency officers. This attitude of our honorable MPs is making the work difficult at the constituency level.
The party can’t afford to loose most of its seats. We are targeting 200 seats in parliament and so it’s proper we present unifiers and competent personalities to help achieve this target. Some of our members of parliament are actually doing a wonderful job. They are really helping H.E Nana Addo to developing the country at a faster rate, however, some are not contributing anything meaningful to the course of this. And those ones must be shown the exit. They should be substituted with serious people.
Agenda 200 seats in parliament is achievable if the delegates select competent, humility and respect over money and arrogant. New Patriotic Party (NPP) has come to power for good and it beholds on us to cement this position by choosing good persons in the upcoming primaries.
