Mr. Felix Kwasi Owusu-Adjapong, an aspirant
vying for the National Chairmanship of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), has said there was
the need for all members of the party to unite to enable the party wrestle power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Addressing a meeting of the Constituency Executives in the Upper East Region to announce his intention to stand for the position of the National Chairman of the NPP, he said party supporters should refrain from factionalism and other negative tendencies.
He said the time had come for them to vote for a competent and a unifier as their National
Chairman so as to be able to unite all members of the party.
Mr Owusu-Agyepong said the NPP was such an advanced party that he believed it needed
to get a competent person like him to steer the affairs of the party.
He gave the assurance that he would not fail them when given the nod and attributed the
failure of the party to capture the 2008 elections to poor campaign strategies.
"This is the time for us to come together as a unifying force to work collectively for the
party to win the 2012 election.''
He therefore appealed to delegates to vote for him during the NPP National Congress to enable him lead the party to victory in Election 2012.
