The Upper West Regional branch of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is building the necessary structures and mechanisms to enable the party to win the 2012 general election. These include programmes designed at deepening the bond of unity among party faithful, unifying members to appreciate the work of the party as well as embarking on an intensive membership campaign drive. The Upper West Regional Youth Organiser of the party, Mr Hafiz Bin Salih told the Daily Graphic, that as a first step towards the full implementation of these strategies, the party had started a process to elect new executives for the nine constituencies in the region. "So far, five constituencies, namely, Nadowli East and West, Jirapa, Wa West and the Lawra Nandom have elected their executives who have since been sworn in at separate ceremonies. Elections for the four remaining constituencies would be held soon" he pointed out. Mr Bin Salih said if the performance of the Mills government within the 10 months was anything to go by, then it was clear that Ghanaians would opt for the NPP, come 2012. "In this regard, all that we of the NPP need to do now is to put our house in order with unity of purpose and guard against any form of division. When we do this, victory shall surely come our way during the 2012 general elections, "Mr Bin Salih indicated. He also urged the executive to listen to the concerns of the people and work in consonance with them from now till the next general elections. Addressing the newly elected executives of the Wa West Constituency at a swearing-in ceremony, the Regional Chairman of the party, Alhaji Abdul Rahman Short, reminded the executives about the sacrifices they had to make to bring the party back to power. That, Alhaji Short said, called for a focused leadership characterised by humility and selflessness so that they would be able to win more people into the fold of the party. He also cautioned them not to lord over the people but to see their victory as one for the party and democracy. The new executive have Mr Abdulai Seid as Chairman, Mr Sobo Yahaya as First Vice chairman and Mr Bukari Seidu as Second Vice Chairman. The rest are; Mr Hienbe Emmanuel Gyuma, Secretary; David Bonwere, Assistant Secretary, Laabir Edward Sabo, treasurer, and Dorimonaa Seidu, Organiser. Madam Vida DI-Urotey and Jorborutey Joseph Dieyunteng were also elected as Women's Organiser and Constituency Youth Organiser respectively. Source: Daily Graphic
