NDC: Timetable for primaries is
unchanged
Accra, July 27, GNA - The National Democratic Congress (NDC)
announced on Friday that the timetable for the conduct of
primaries remained unchanged and that no constituency could
hold its primaries until it had written permission from the
headquarters signed by the General Secretary.
In a statement signed by Mr. Baba Jamal, Deputy General
Secretary, the NDC said it had come to the notice of the
national headquarters that some people were going round the
country, especially in the Northern Region, claiming to have
been sent by the national headquarters to prepare grounds
and supervise primaries for the election of parliamentary
candidates.
"The headquarters wish to bring to the notice of the general
public, especially NDC regional and constituency branch
executives, that no such persons have been mandated to
perform any duty on behalf of headquarters.
"The headquarters are therefore cautioning that any person
who makes such a claim should be reported to headquarters
immediately."
The National Executive Committee of the party said it was
reminding all concerned that the on-going exercise was in
respect of orphan constituencies only and that a separate
timetable would be issued for constituencies with sitting
MPs in due course.
It said prospective candidates for constituencies with
sitting NDC MPs were warned to desist from any form of
campaigning whether overtly of covertly until further
directives were received from national headquarters.
