A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has called for a total overhaul of the party�s current national leadership. He claimed that the performance of the current crop of national executives led by its incurrent chairman, Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey have been the worst in the party�s history. �I have seen different national executives before and when I compared them to the current ones, the difference is too big,� Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe said yesterday. The performance of the current executives, most of whom are seeking re-election has been questioned by many, including the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong. He has accused the executives of being corrupt and self-centered, especially in the run-up to the 2012 electioneering campaign. Mr. Agyapong has promised to launch a 20-million-dollar campaign against the national executives especially Mr. Obetsebi-Lamptey to ensure no one was retained. In support, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe called on party delegates to vote against all of the current executives at the party�s upcoming congress on April 12, slated in Tamale. According to him, the NPP may lose the 2016 general elections if the national executives were retained. �The current national executives should all be voted out. From chairman to the least person so that we will have a new set who will keep the party on its feet,� he stressed. Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe was convinced that with a new crop of leadership, the NPP would be a vibrant party to wrestle power from the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2016.
