"The cooperation of all and sundry made this possible, therefore we would like to wish all NPP members well, particularly delegates who sacrificed their precious time and energy to observe the democratic process".

The Acting National Women Organizer of the Party, Hajia Saudatu Saeed and Chairperson of the Election Committee who said this in an interview with the GNA, stressed that the maturity displayed by all stakeholders guaranteed the peaceful conduct of the polls.

She said the Committee extended its gratitude to all contestants for playing vital roles that ensured peaceful conduct of the elections.  "We want to show gratitude to the Electoral Commission (EC) for carrying out the Herculean task of supervising the conduct of the elections.

“We specifically want to thank Mr Stephen Opoku Mensah for the professional work carried out to ensure the peaceful conduct and outcome of the polls." She commended the hard work and exceptional role played by Dr Kwaku Afriyie, Western Regional Minister, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives, and all Members of Parliament for turning out in their numbers during the elections.

"Indeed, many of the 43 Party members who went into the contest emerged victorious; this is the time to galvanize the energies of all members for ultimate development and democratic consolidation of Party affairs".

She pointed out that the culture of tolerance within the Party therefore demanded that they all accept, respect and uphold the outcome of the polls and support the elected executives to function properly ahead of the 20-20 elections."Our internal democratic pillars have become entrenched and we ought to continue to jealously protect it by accepting the outcome of our internal elections. "

“We are using this medium to congratulate all our gallant foot soldiers who organized assiduously at the grassroot levels, she said and added that “for the contestants who went into the elections, we want to commend you for boldly stepping forward in your bid to secure positions to serve our Party”.

The Election Committee Chairperson lauded the manner in which the core values of their Party, the general principles guiding true leadership, as well as loyalty and commitment truly was displayed last Saturday and thank all members for that.

"We must be guided by the principles of our tradition and allow peace and tranquillity at all levels".
