Story: George Folley Quaye, Wa
THE Upper West Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will in the next few days announce a date for the holding of primaries in the Sissala West Constituency.
Those contesting are George Hickah Benson, the Upper West Regional Minister and Partick Alhassan Adamah, a United Kingdom-based mining engineer. According to Mr Hafiz Bin Saliah, the Regional Youth Organiser, the two personalities had already gone through the vetting process and were awaiting the report from the national secretariat.
He, however, said a decision was yet to be taken on the Sissala constituency.
Mr Bin Salih told the Daily Graphic that as part of the party’s efforts at reaching out to more people, branches of the NPP were to be opened in all tertiary institutions in the region.
He said the party was working hard to defeat the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to prove sceptics wrong that the Danquah-Busia tradition was dead in the Upper West Region.
“We have put in place a number of strategic structures to win certain seats but I will decide to keep it to myself,” he added.
He commended the footsoldiers for their continuous support, despite the enormous challenges confronting them.
Meanwhile, the NPP has completed electing parliamentary candidates for eight out of the 10 constituencies. They are Ambrose Dery, Lawra-Nerdom; Daniel Dari, Wa West; Godfrey Beyon Tangu, Wa East; and Clement Eledi, Wa Central.
The rest are Ekor Dassah, Nadowli East; Wing Commander Eric Dakurah(retd), Nodowli West; John D. Balooru, Lambussie; and Justin Dakorah, Jirapa.
