Dan
Botwe asked to rescind decision
Apiredi Akuapem (E/R), June 7, Ghanadot/GNA– Mr Dan Kwaku
Botwe, a leading member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP),
has been asked to rescind his decision not to take part in
NPP primaries for the Okere constituency.
Mr Samuel Larbi, a spokesperson for 70 NPP polling station
chairmen out of the 85 from the constituency, on Saturday
made the appealed on behalf of the group at a press
conference at Apiredi in the Eastern Region.
The spokesman urged Mr Botwe to contest the primaries since
majority of the polling station chairmen supported him.
Mr Larbi denied the allegation that the National Executive
Committee of the party intentionally disqualified aspirants
to pave way for Mr Botwe.
The spokesman said the accusation was baseless since the NPP
hierarchy had the discretion to take final decision as to
who to lead the party.
Mr Larbi explained that the disqualification of Mr Paul
Larbi and Mr Clement Ofori was in the right direction
because they had not served the party for at least two years
as demanded by NPP constitution.
He said the two aspirants obtained their membership cards in
February this year, while Mr Charles Okraku Budu, the third
aspirant, a polling station chairman, failed to resign from
that position before filling nomination papers.
