The leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a directive mandating all its parliamentary candidates to spend a "minimum of four days per week" in their respective constituencies to strengthen their campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming December 7 general elections.
According to the press statement issued by the General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong on Friday, October 4, the party has observed that some parliamentary candidates are not consistently present in their constituencies.
It said that the lack of engagement raises concerns about the potential impact on the party’s performance in both presidential and parliamentary elections.
“You should know that this lack of engagement would significantly affect our electoral fortunes in both presidential and parliamentary elections," part of the statement read.
In light of this, the party has taken the matter seriously and expects all parliamentary candidates to dedicate sufficient time to engage with constituents.
The party has also directed regional campaign teams to monitor and report on the activities of the candidates.
“The regional campaign teams are hereby directed to submit weekly reports of the activities of their parliamentary candidates to the National Secretariat. We trust in your usual attention and cooperation in this matter," the statement added.
