Former Executive Director of the Danquah Institute (DI), Gabby Asare-Otchere Darko has suggested that to prevent the sort of acrimony and the potential division some of these election processes can bring into the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the party �must consider having them selected by the Presidential candidate or President in consultation with the National Council or National Delegates' Conference�. In a post on his facebook wall a few hours before the commencement of the NPP National Delegates Conference, he stated that; �The more I read and hear all the mudslinging among teams competing for NPP national office positions the more I ask: is it all worth it? There is a lot of wisdom in Jake's proposal that choose the leader first. But, I will go further than Jake and ask, do parties have to elect their national chairman, general secretary, national organiser and treasurer, etc, at all?� ��We must consider having them selected by the leader (Presidential candidate or President) in consultation with the National Council or National Delegates' Conference. We can't make 'democracy' an albatross! Too much is spent, materially and emotionally, in this exercise with its concomitant issues of disunity. To run a party need not be a popularity contest. After all, the refrain is 'competence'; I will add, loyalty/commitment�. This proposition came before the polls to elect National Executives of the party. Though there have been many surprises, with regards to the outcome of the elections, all contestants are calling for party unity, in order to marshal forces to win the 2016 general elections. The call has become necessary due to the level of denigration that characterized the campaigns leading up to the delegates� conference in Tamale, the Northern Regional Capital. Perhaps, it is for this reason Gabby Asare-Otchere Darko is of the view that the nominations of National Executives by the Presidential Candidate or sitting President could go a long way to eliminate the rancor and acrimony that characterize internal elections of the party and also cut down on the material and emotional cost.
