The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has expressed concerns about certain incumbent members planning to run as independent candidates in the 2024 general elections after losing in the party’s primaries.
He mentioned that the party is in discussions with these individuals, hoping they will reconsider their decisions to run independently.
Frimpong’s remarks come in response to the announcements made by a couple of incumbent NPP MPs who have declared their intention to contest the upcoming elections as independents following their primary losses.
Speaking on Eyewitness News, Frimpong acknowledged the troubling nature of this situation but remained optimistic about reconciling with the affected members and convincing them to abandon their independent bids.
“Our brothers and sisters who went through the election. At no point in time was any issue raised about the delegate album, or the process was skewed towards a particular person.
“We all go Into elections having at the back of our minds that we can win or we can lose. so, when you go to the election and you lose, you just accept it in good faith and hope for a better future.
“So, we are finding it a bit difficult to understand, but we still believe that we should still engage those who have decided to be independent until the final day that the electoral commission will come out with the notice of polls.
“So, let us not lose hope, I still believe that we can make amends and get people to the New Patriotic Party,” he stated
