Don’t tag security personnel with party colours – Ghanaians urged


Mr Alexander Ato Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, incumbent Member of Parliament of Effutu, has called on Ghanaians to be mindful of tagging security agencies, teachers, and public servants with party colours.

It was about time society desisted from continuously tagging personnel of security agencies and other institutions with party colours because they disagreed on certain issues, he said.

‘If the institutions were not allowed to work and work well, the country’s democracy would be nothing to write home about,’ he noted.

Mr Afenyo-Markin, the Deputy Majority Leader of Parliament and the Effutu Constituency NPP Parliamentary candidate made the call at a delegate’s conference for his acclamation at Effutu Ateitu, a community in the Effutu Municipality, to contest the December 7 election.

He referred to recent attacks on the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akuffo-Dampare, by some members of the party who disagreed with him on certain security matters, and had called for his removal, describing that as
‘not the best’.

‘Let us disagree with some of their policies and criticise them, rather than calling for their transfers and removal.’

He expressed concern over the politicisation of almost every national issue, which was destroying the country, and urged the public to be tolerant of each other’s views and work together even if they disagreed for the development of Ghana.

The MP stated that the public must not be deceived that parliamentarians were enemies as sometimes portrayed on television but rather they were friends who hardly fought each other.

‘The NPP believes in diversity and it does not matter one’s religion or ethnicity to get equal opportunity, which is always based on merit and it has demonstrated this through the selection of its flagbearer.’

‘We are going to work as a team with the flagbearer, day and night, to ensure we break the eight,’ he added.

Nana Osei-Adjei is New Juaben North NPP parliamentary candidate-elect


Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in New Juaben North have elected Nana Osei-Adjei as their parliamentary candidate to represent the constituency in the December general election.

Nana Osei-Adjei polled 253 out of the 488 total valid votes cast to beat Mr Seth K. Acheampong, the Eastern Regional Minister, and Messieurs Samuel K. Annor, Joseph O. Djaba, and Philip T. Yeboah.

Mr Acheampong polled 183 votes, Mr Djaba, 47, Mr Yeboah, three, and Mr Annor, two votes.

Nana Osei-Adjei would replace Mr. Kwasi Boateng Adjei, the sitting Member of Parliament of New Juaben North, and contest against Mr. Samuel Adongo, the parliamentary candidate of the National Democratic Congress.

Ms Dorcas Akoto-Donkor, the Municipal Electoral Officer, said in an interview with the Ghana News Agency that 510 delegates were expected to cast their ballots.

However, 490 delegates exercised their franchises, with 488 valid votes cast and two rejected ballots.

Meanwhile, the GNA noted that the NPP in some constituencies, inc
luding the New Juaben South and Akuapim South in the Eastern Region did not hold the primaries.

In New Juaben South, the incumbent MP, Mr Michael O. Baafi, was nominated unopposed, while the primaries were postponed till further notice in Akuapim South.
