Grab Enough Money or Forget NPP Parliamentary Primaries – National Com. Officer to candidates

A Deputy National Communication Director of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Jennifer Oforiwaa Prempeh has suggested to the party’s candidates contesting the June 20, 2020, parliamentary primaries to hoard enough money to share to delegates.

In a rather indiscrete admonition, Mr. Prempeh warned the aspirants that anyone who runs out of money before the election “should forget winning the Primaries”.

“I understand the real game when it comes to internal elections. If you run out of money on the eve to the Election Day forget it. So all candidates must be prepared, hoard enough money for the few days left to the election. Don’t spend money on anything now wait after the election then you do that.”

The deputy communications officer of the ruling party was talking in an interview on the Nkawkaw-based Agoo FM recently in an interview monitored by Whatsup News.

It is unclear where the NPP candidates will secure these cache of funds from. However, given the fact that most of them are appointed government officials, critics are convinced that the advice was a call to order to loot state coffers.

It appears the parliamentary primaries of the NPP will see massive monetisation, as tension is already brewing in the race that has seen accusations of favouritism towards certain candidates by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.

Several incumbent MPs have been pushed by the NEC to go unopposed, and dissenters have been brutally squashed by disqualification.

The aggrieved candidates have resorted to curses as their only form of justice.
