Loyalists of Vice President Alhaji Aliu Mahama, a political club, on Wednesday appealed to delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the December 22 congress to elect the party's presidential candidate to vote massively for the Vice President.
The club said in a statement that out of all the presidential aspirants it was only the Vice-President who had the practical experience in administering state affairs.
It said by virtue of being the second gentleman of the land and having acted on numerous occasions as the President of the Republic in the absence of President John Agyekum Kufuor, he is the most qualified to lead the NPP in Election 2008.
The statement, signed by the club's President Umar El-Hassan
said "It will be wrong to vote a former minister when a Vice President is contesting".
It said the 2008 election would be daunting task, a "Task to separate the grain from the chaff" and urged delegates to build in their minds their love for the party and this should determine their choice of the flag bearer.
The club appealed to the delegates to always remember the words of President Kufuor when he was re-nominating Alhaji Aliu Mahama as his running mate for the 2004 elections that; "He is an affable pillar in my government".
It said President Kufuor's words should inform the would-be delegates that he explicitly demonstrated that Vice President Mahama was capable of leading this country to prosperity after him.
The statement said a true NPP loyalist would want the stable nature of the economy to be maintained or possibly improved upon.
"What currently parades as the opposition is dangerous to our economic stability, that is why the NPP must choose and choose wisely to avert any possible win of the National Democratic Congress."
