ASIKUMA ODOBEN BRAKWA CONSTITUENCY. 

PRESS RELEASE…

PARLIAMENTARY  PRIMARIES  JUNE 2020.

ADVISE  FROM OHENEBA BRUCE DOMPSON. ( CONSTITUENCY  CHAIRMAN). TO ALL THE SIX (6)  PARLIAMENTARY  ASPIRANTS. 

LET THE GOOD  NAME OF NPP MATTER TO YOU.

Dear Parliamentary Aspirants and  collegues of the Kukrudites family, once again time has come to elect  parliamentary aspirant who will steer the affairs of our great party in Our Constituency  for the next four (4) years.

Our party  ( NPP) has demonstrated the capacity  to transform  our dear country’s democratic, socio- economic,  culture and industrial  structures  to bring about genuine  National  development. 

The overwhelming  endorsement of  our great party  in 2016 elections  to take the reign  and govern , doesn’t  only underscore how popular  our party is but rather the confidence  the trust that the good people of  Ghana  have in our great party to lead  them into genuine  development  so let the good name of the  NPP matter to you.

ASIKUMA  ODOBEN BRAKWA CONSTITUENCY  TOWARDS PEACEFUL  COEXISTENCE.  BEFORE,  DURING  AND AFTER JUNE  2020 PARLIAMENTARY PRIMARIES. . 

On behalf of the  Constituency executives,  we are ready to defend  and protect the unity of the forthcoming Parliamentary  Primaries. A house or family divided against  itself cannot  stand. That house cannot   stand to fight a common enemy or opponent.  That house cannot stand to  protect its ideas. That house cannot stand to  potray its beauty  and essence.  The need for  unity at the time our party is in power  cannot be  overemphasized.  It behoves all Parliamentary aspirants, party members  to unite behind our party.

Unity within our  party is enhanced by the way we  relate with one another . Every party member has a special  and significant  role to perform  in the pursuit of the corporate  and organizational  goals of the party. There is therefore the need to respect every  individual  and appreciate  our respective  contributions to the  stability  and  growth of our  party.

Within  our party’s  constitution  are provisions for free speech,  participation and  access.  Those provisions are  to ensure  fairness  within  an institutional  framework of rule of law.  That constitutional  arrangement  doesn’t  give  the parliamentary  aspirant  and his supporters  ammunition to  combat  each other nor creates grounds for disrespect  and arrogance.  We should therefore  eschew negative  tendencies  including the  use of  abusive  language,  insinuation,  gossiping and foulmouth. These negative  behaviours  cannot  enhance  PEACEFUL  COEXISTENCE. 

I am grateful to the Constituency Parliamentary  Elections  Committee  chaired by  Mr Eduful Annan,  Mr Frederick  Asamoah Boateng ,   the Constituency secretary,. Mr Lawrence Arthur  Research  and elections  officer  and Madam  Sylvia  who were in charge  of selling  and receiving  of Nomination forms. 

At the close of the Nomination forms   Thursday   20/ 02 / 2020   the following  aspirants   have  filed their   nominations to  contest for the forthcoming  Parliamentary Primaries in ASIKUMA  ODOBEN BRAKWA  CONSTITUENCY. 

1. HON. ANTHONY EFFAH 

2. HON EMMANUEL ADJEI DOMSON

3. MR BRIGHT ESSILFIE KUMI 

4.MR ERNEST  KOJO SMITH 

5. MR OFORI AMOPOMAH
