PRESS RELEASE
We have taken notice of social media postings, press releases and a video of Hon Collins Owusu Amankwah, the former MP for Manhyia South on the just-ended parliamentary primaries in Kumawu. And we will want to respond as follows:
- We do acknowledge the support and prayers from all NPP members and sympathizers, however, we want to make it categorically clear, this primaries was a local contest among family members and had no National undertones.
-
The contest was not won on the strength of any personality as claimed by Hon Amankwah and his surrogates. His comment in the video is distasteful, unworthy and unfortunate. We, therefore, advise that it should not be taken seriously and should be treated with the contempt it deserves.
-
Our candidate is on record to have made the unity of Kumawu Constituency his top priority during the campaign. It was this message that resonated with the delegates.
-
The election was not about personalities or individuals but for NPP as a party. We do not have any scores to settle and are therefore surprised how Hon Amankwah who was just there as an observer could make such spurious comments.
-
Ernest is committed to serving his constituents and not Team Alan or any team for that matter. He will work with any duly elected flagbearer of the NPP.
-
We just concluded one leg of the elections and have a by-election to contest. We, therefore, do not have the strength to engage in any meaningless statements and innuendoes.
-
We disassociate ourselves from the social media postings, press releases and the video of Hon Collins Amankwah.
Thank you.
