The Member of Parliament for Adentan Kojo Adu Asare, has added his voice to the “chorus of admonishings” by well wishers for the New Patriotic Party’s primaries to be conducted in a peaceful atmosphere.
He noted that it is important the NPP conducted the elections in a free and transparent manner to avoid any dispute that may result in electoral violence.
Several statesmen including the NPP Presidential candidate Nana Akufo Addo and NPP Chairman Jake Obetsebi Lamptey have called for healthy primaries across the country to show to the country that the NPP is a united force, deserving of their mandate.
The NPP goes to parliamentary primaries on Saturday 30th April 2011, to elect its parliamentary candidates for the 2012 general elections which promises to be keenly contested.
Speaking on Adom FM’s “Dwaso Nsem” show, the Member of Parliament for Adentan, Kojo Adu Asare, reminded his colleagues MPs and other new aspirants to brace themselves for the worst results, as politics is full of surprises.
“In political context or competitions there is nothing like draw unlike football, you either win or lose and it is important that my colleagues are guided by this basic fact” he said.
Hon. Adu Asare added that the exercise of electing persons to parliament must be seen as a democratic exercise and not a “do or die” affair and must be conducted in a peaceful manner.
