A member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr John Akparibo Ndebugre from the Zebilla constituency, has his doubts that the party's parliamentary candidate, Mr Frank Fuseini will win the seat for the NPP come December 2012.
According to him, the processes leading to the declaration of one person in this case, Mr Fuseini, as the parliamentary candidate for the constituency had not been transparent which had created a problem.
Speaking at a launch of a support group for the NPPs Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the former Member of Parliament for Zebilla said although he was ready to rally support for the presidential candidate, he could not do same for the parliamentary candidate.
Mr Ndebugre, who supported the NPP after be lost to Mr Cletus Avoka of the NDC in the last parliamentary election when as a candidate on the ticket of the People's National Convention (PNC), said: “Mr Fuseini is going to start whatever campaign he intends to wage with a deficit in image, since the opponent we are facing is formidable. It would appear that many of us are unaware of Mr Fuseini's association with the NPP.
Incidentally, Mr Fuseini was also a member of the PNC in the Zebilla constituency but has now defected to the NPP. He was endorsed unopposed by delegates at the party's constituency congress recently.
Mr Ndebugre stated that although some party members had questioned Mr Fuseini's qualification to contest the party's parliamentary primaries, no effort had been made at resolving the problem transparently and in accordance with the party's rules.
“Mr Fuseini was simply railroaded into that position. There cannot be any doubt that a lacklustre parliamentary campaign will impact negatively on the presidential vote in the constituency and this is what we must avoid at all cost,” he said.
“Ghana's politics of today is being modelled to promote honesty and fair play and it is neither honest nor fair to use smartness and other means to enter a race when you know in your heart of hearts that you do not qualify to participate in that race,” he added.
“For these reasons, and others, some of us do not and it appears cannot feel disposed to supporting Mr Frank Fuseini as the NPP parliamentary candidate for the Zebilla Constituency,” he emphasised.
Explaining the objectives of the launch of the Nana Addo for President (NAFOP) in Zebilla with himself as the patron, Mr Ndebugre noted that for the NPP to recapture power and continue with the development of Ghana, it needed to be re-organised and united.
He said it was the goal of the group to campaign vigorously to get a great number of votes for the NPP presidential candidate to ensure victory for the party.
He called on NPP members committed to this vision to hold themselves in readiness for the establishment of the necessary structures to support the project for it to succeed.
