It’s Not Time Yet –Yaw Preko Tells NPP Flagbearer Hopefuls
The Deputy Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Yaw Preko has sent a strong warning to members aspiring to take over from Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as leader of the party that it is not time yet.
According to him, the timing for such activity is not right given that President Akufo-Addo has just been sworn into office for his second term.
Mr Yaw Preko explained that if the NPP will be able to win the next elections it will largely depend on the performance of Mr. Akufo-Addo hence, he should be supported to deliver.
Mr Yaw Preko said, “For those who have interest to contest as flagbearer for the party after Akufo-Addo is done with his work and wants to be President on the ticket of the NPP, what we are saying is that it is not yet time, “He told Atinka TV.
He added that, “The only time we go for congress in our party is when we are going to elect a flagbearer. The party has not brought any communique concerning nominations.”
“Those who have the power to call for meetings are the chairmen, whether constituency, polling station, regional chairman or national chairman. Even if the President wants to have a meeting with the people, he does not call for a meeting, he will arrange with the chairman to organise it, he will not call people to come and have a meeting with them, it is not done. So if you are a cabinet minister, it is by grace that you are a cabinet minister, but you go to some region or constituency and call for a meeting, in what capacity,” he quizzed.
