Former Education Minister under the erstwhile Kuffour administration, Prof. Christopher Ameyaw Akumfi has called on members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Techiman North Constituency to embrace unity and discipline as the party works towards reclaiming the Techiman North seat.

The former legislator made this call at the party’s Constituency Delegates conference held in Tanoboase on Sunday.

The Conference as per Article 7(27) of the New Patriotic Party's Constitution was divided and organised in two zones; Tanoboase zone and Aworowa zone respectively, and was held in strict adherence of the Covid-19 protocols.

Prof. Ameyaw Akumfi took the opportunity to advise members at the conference on the need to embrace unity, discipline and commitment in the party in order to "break the 8". 

"I am calling on the delegates as well as all members of the New Patriotic Party within the constituency and beyond to forgive each other and remain united if only we are aiming at breaking the 8-year rule", he said.

He again noted that "We must also start working on bringing everyone on board to recapture our lost seat in the 2024 general elections. This can only be achieved if we instil discipline in our line of politics going forward".

He also officially declared his intention to contest in the NPP National Chairmanship race. Constituency Chairman Paul Addo Kwarteng assured the former legislator of the party’s support and prayers.

Also present at the conference were Constituency Executives, the DCE Peter Mensah, former MP Martin Oti Gyarko, some regional executives, among others.
