Don’t vote for independent candidates-Nana B
A member of the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP) Communications team Henry Nana Boakye
popularly called ‘Nana B’ has called on
supporters of the party in the country and abroad
to desist from voting for break-away independent
candidates in the December 7 polls.

According to him, the independent candidates are
only pursuing their parochial interests and not
that of the party pleading with the electorate to
ignore them.

He said they ceased to be members of the party per
the party’s Constitution the moment they went
solo.

‘Parliamentary success is linked up to
presidential success, in most election cases, the
number of votes amassed by a party’s
parliamentary candidates help the party win the
presidency. I recall in 2000 elections when we won
majority seats, we campaigned based on the figures
during the run off. Late former President E.A
Mills in 2008 also adopted this same strategy.

I am pleading with all NPP members and
sympathisers to vote for the party’s
parliamentary candidates after voting for Nana
Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Don’t vote for any
independent candidates, those NPP members who have
gone solo are allowed to do so, but we are pushing
an agenda for Nana Addo to win power,’ he
explained.

Speaking on Abusua FM’s Abusua Nkommo hosted by
Kwame Adinkrah, Nana B bemoaned the personal
attacks and vilification tactics some of the
aggrieved independent candidates have adopted just
to score cheap political points.

The NPP’s Communicator admonished the various
candidates to embark on a clean campaign devoid of
insults and painting others black.

‘Members of Parliament (MPs) and Parliamentary
Candidates were elected during primaries by the
delegates based on the party’s laid down rules.
The independent candidates should concentrate on
their campaigns devoid of personal attacks because
it does not augur well for democracy,’ he
entreated.

He called on the electorate to vote massively for
Nana Addo and NPP to win power to solve the untold
hardships the Mahama-led National Democratic
Congress (NDC) government has brought onto
Ghanaians.
