Danquah Institute lauds NPP for a successful regional executive elections

The Danquah Institute(DI) has lauded the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)for conducting a peaceful and successful regional executive elections across the country.

Twelve incumbent regional chairmen of the NPP retained their seats after the exercise, which was held in 15 regions. Out of the 12 who retained their positions, the Western regional chairman, Francis Ndede Siah, went unopposed.

The Central regional poll was put on hold because of a court injunction.

A statement issued by the Danquah Institute advised disgruntled parties to resort to the Party’s Constitution  in resolving their grievances.

“The Danquah Institute congratulates the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for a well conducted and successful regional elections. As part of the Institute’s strategic objective of propagating the ideals of the Danquah Busia Dombo tradition, we note with great admiration another great step made in the strengthening of democracy within the Party.”

“We wish to congratulate all successful candidates who have been chosen as leaders to govern the Party at the Regional level for the next four years. The trust exhibited in their ability to lead their respective regions was loudly conveyed by the delegates, and this is in accordance with Article 9 of the Party’s Constitution,” the statement said.

“We therefore urge all that may be disgruntled to resort to the Party Constitution in the resolution of all disputes as well as concerns, without physical or verbal assault at the Party hierarchy and members generally. In effect, Regional leadership can come together to consolidate its gains and minimizes its losses,” the Danquah Institute statement added.

The Danquah Institute congratulates the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for a well conducted and successful regional elections. As part of the Institute’s strategic objective of propagating the ideals of the Danquah Busia Dombo tradition, we note with great admiration another great step made in the strengthening of democracy within the Party.

We wish to congratulate all successful candidates who have been chosen as leaders to govern the Party at the Regional level for the next four years. The trust exhibited in their ability to lead their respective regions was loudly conveyed by the delegates, and this is in accordance with Article 9 of the Party’s Constitution.

Having followed keenly the elections in all the various regions, Danquah Institute notes that the successful conduct of these elections, though with a few hitches was not achieved in a vacuum. As such we commend Regional Ministers, the security services present, the Electoral Commission of Ghana at the Regional levels and the NPP National Executives, Members of Parliament, MMDCEs, Election Committees of the various Regions for their diligence and commitment to ensuring the smooth running of the events.

We also commend the delegates on one side and aspirants and their supporters on the other side for the peaceful conduct of the elections. The just ended elections shows how the Party is poised by all standards to present a formidable front for the betterment of the great elephant family and the country at large.

We are positive that the continuing and, in some cases, new leadership brought about as a result of the just ended elections will positively impact on the Party’s strength and its growth as well as its resolve to break the eight-year political cycle that has characterized the 4^th Republican dispensation.

We therefore urge all that may be disgruntled to resort to the Party Constitution in the resolution of all disputes as well as concerns, without physical or verbal assault at the Party hierarchy and members generally. In effect, Regional leadership can come together to consolidate its gains and minimizes its losses.

It also means care must be taken to ensure a representation of the diverse interests in the additional leadership soon to be appointed to fully establish Regional teams. Decisions made must seek to build consensus and to emulate the right ideals which have always governed the Party. We look forward to the upcoming election of National leaders for the NPP.
