Lawyer Anthony Anamoo, Upper East Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has stated that members of the party secretly campaigned against the party’s candidates in the 2020 election.
According to the chairman, such actions contributed hugely to the abysmal performance the NPP witnessed as a party in the region during the 2020 election.
Addressing delegates at the party’s regional annual delegates conference held in Bolgatanga the regional capital, Lawyer Anthony Anamoo said, though vehicles, motorbikes, fuel and other logistics were made available to party activities ahead of the elections, people choose to campaign secretly against NPP parliamentary candidates of their party.
An action he said God has seen and will reward those he described as traitors in due time.
“It is ungodly for any official of this party to be provided with a means of transport and same with fuel and sometimes money for the official and he turns round to campaign against the same party. This is a sacrilege and it is unbecoming of party officials of this great party. We as humans may not have seen you but almighty God who has his grace on this great party has” he told delegates.
He said, even though the party targeted to win seven seats in the region, the outcome turned out abysmal and was followed by calls on Regional Executives of the party to resign. This the Chairman added forms part of the machinations and ungodly acts of some party members.
“There has developed in the political lexicon of the region, the concept of no 9, no 10 where some party members for inexplicable reasons decide that they would not campaign for the party’s candidate. They will in broad daylight, be seen campaigning for the party and its candidate then later under the cover of darkness, they will turn to inform voters that all that they said in the daytime, should be disregarded but they should vote skirt and blouse. This inevitably deprived the party of more votes. Paradoxically, they are the first people to call for the resignation of party aficionados when the results predictably turned worst. Suffice it to add that some party executives are also blamable,” he stressed.
