I Am Ahead In The Race-Effah-Dartey

Capt Nkrabeah Effah-Dartey (rtd), aspiring General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has said he remained ahead of his competitors in his bid to become the next General Secretary of the party. �I have heard some deliberate propaganda being circulated that I have bowed out of the race; if those propagandists do not understand my campaign strategy, they better keep quiet,� he said in an interview with the GNA. �I am making it clear that I am ahead in the race and very confident that I am winning to become the next General Secretary of the NPP.� He is contesting the position with three other contestants including the incumbent, Mr John Owusu-Afriyie. He said the NPP urgently needed someone like him to help administer and guide the party to recapture power from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2016. �I am not coming to deliver speeches; I am not going to be an airwave General Secretary but I am coming as a grassroots man mainly with strategies to cushion the NPP to victory come 2016,� he said. Capt Effah-Dartey said he had the experience and methodology to restructure and strengthen the party�s structures throughout the country. He said as the general secretary, he would ensure that polling and constituency executives were adequately resourced to enable them work efficiently to canvas for more supporters to vote in the next elections. Capt Effah-Dartey wished regional executive aspirants success in their elections on January 25 and also urged the delegates to vote for diligent and vigilant persons who could lead the party to victory in their respective areas in 2016.
