Mr George Ayisi Boateng, a founder member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Ashanti Region, has cautioned members of his party against pitting the candidates in the flag-bearer primary against one another. He said such behaviour could have serious repercussions, not only for the party�s chances of winning the 2016 general election, but also relationships among party members and even divide families. In a statement issued in Kumasi at the weekend in reaction to recent developments relating to the campaign for the October 18 primary, the NPP founder member called for a halt to unwarranted statements, especially in the media. Mr Ayisi Boateng, who is also a member of the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo Campaign Team in the Ashanti Region, warned against the use of the name of Nana Addo in campaigns that could divide the NPP. He advised party members to be guarded by their utterances, and act responsibly to uphold the unity and strength of the party to be able to recapture power in the 2016. Messrs Akufo-Addo, Alan Kyerematen and Mr Francis Addai-Nimo are contesting the position of the flag bearer of the party for the 2016 presidential election.
