Ayisi Boateng appeals to NPP delegates to stay focused
A founder member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr George Ayisi-Boateng, has appealed to the delegates of the party who will be voting at the next congress in April 12, to ensure that they elect people who can help the NPP win the election and not people who just want power.

He has, therefore, challenged all the 5600 delegates who will be voting to ensure that they do not allow themselves to be influenced in any form to elect the wrong person.
“Stay focussed and be firm in the interest of the party and elect national leaders who can help beat the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2016 general election”.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in an exclusive interview, Mr Ayisi-Boateng said the NPP could not afford to lose the next election in 2016 so he urged all functionaries to contribute their quota towards winning the next election.
The national council of the party, on Tuesday, fixed April 12, as the day for the party’s next general delegates conference.
The National Executive Committee had earlier fixed March 1, as the day for their national delegates congress and also decided that due to lack of funds, the elections were to be held in the various regions.
But the national council of the party at its meeting overturned the earlier decision and chose Tamale as the venue for the election for the new executive.
Mr Ayisi-Boateng urged members of the party to desist from any form of media war and rather use dialogue as well as the various structures in the party to resolve any differences.
