The Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh has issued a warning to all New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer contenders to conduct their campaigns in a polite way.
During the internal elections of the party, he asserts that there is no reason to engage in character assassination of other party members.
The vitality should rather be directed at the National Democratic Congress (NDC), which should take steps to ensure that former President John Dramani Mahama will never again come within striking distance of the presidency.
Mr. Frank Annoh-Dompreh, who is campaigning for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to be elected flagbearer of the NPP, stated the following during an interview with TV3's Komla Kluste on Wednesday, June 14: "There is a lot of discipline in our caucus, you cannot campaign openly on our platform; if you campaign openly, I take you off the MPs' Whatsapp platform."
"The Members of Parliament are also aware that they need to win their own seats, and that there is a larger picture to be won when it comes to winning an election. As a result, you are free to project your candidate, but you should do it in moderation. Because of this, while supposedly interacting with our more senior colleague the Honorable Kennedy Agyapong, I made sure to choose my words very carefully during the interaction that took place between us.
"Our problem right now is not with ourselves; rather, it is with the NDC. Because of the legacies he has left behind, we must prevent John Mahama from coming anywhere near the president at any cost. This is where our attention should be directed, not on ourselves.
