The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, says the party will soon communicate its stance on the parliamentary primary situation in the Yendi constituency.
He assured that the party is committed to fairness in addressing the matter involving the candidates.
Speaking in an interview with Asaase Radio on Monday, January 29, the NPP General Secretary mentioned that the party's decision will be informed by reports received from all stakeholders.
He emphasised the respect accorded to both candidates and expressed confidence in reaching an amicable resolution between them.
“Well, it (Yendi misunderstanding) has to be resolved, no matter how difficult it will be. It has to be resolved and all the reports that will come from Yendi, one from the regional party and also from the reps that we sent there, from the Electoral Commission and the Ghana Police, will all influence what decision will be taken,” he said.
“But, it has to be resolved, and it will be resolved,” he added.
Mr. Justin Kodua Frimpong, also said that the parliamentary primaries were generally successful in constituencies with incumbent MPs.
He mentioned that the National Executive Committee of the party is scheduled to convene next week to discuss constituencies where elections were suspended.
Additionally, Mr. Frimpong called for peace within the party, emphasizing the importance of unity as the party prepares for the upcoming December 7 general elections.
