Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has hinted at tabling a suggestion with the National Council to permit both Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai-Nimoh to contest the November 4 Presidential Primary.
According to reports, Kwabena Agyepong, the former General Secretary of the NPP, has indicated his intention to propose a suggestion to the National Council of the party. His suggestion is aimed at allowing both Boakye Agyarko and Francis Addai-Nimoh to compete in the upcoming Presidential Primary on November 4.
Agyepong believes that both candidates should be given the opportunity to participate in the primary, as they both received the same number of votes during the party’s Super Delegates Conference. This would provide a fair and democratic process for determining the NPP’s presidential candidate.
It remains to be seen how the National Council will respond to Agyepong’s proposal. The decision ultimately lies in their hands, and they will have to take into account various factors before making a final decision on the matter.
He said he would table this before the Council’s meeting on Wednesday, August 30.
“The National Council is meeting on Wednesday, I am a member of it. If I have the opportunity, I will suggest that they should allow them to join.
“Six is not different from five, so if they want to continue [or] they make that decision to continue with the battle, then having six is not.
“After all, the whole idea behind pruning down was because of the massive numbers that we saw in 2007, when I was the youngest of the 17 aspirants and this time we had 10, which with some of us, in our view, we could have allowed us to go straight on.”
“I think they should be allowed since they are sharing the fifth position.” He stressed
