280 delegates would represent the Eastern Region at the national delegates congress of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), scheduled to take place in Accra on December 22, 2007.
The delegates would be made up of four constituency executives and six other members selected by consensus or voting.
According to the Regional Chairman of the party, Mr Yaw Gyekye Amoabeng, so far 23 out of the 28 constituencies in the region had picked their delegates, five with others, namely Nkawkaw, Mpraeso, Abetifi, Akyem Oda and Asuogyaman yet to do so.
He said the process for selection, which was in accordance with Article 6, Sub-Section 18 of the NPP consitution, was followed peacefully in the constituencies covered, and expressed the hope that it would be the same in the other constituencies yet to be covered.
“After the executive members had agreed on who among them should be delegates, the chairman then called for a meeting of non-executive members who also elected delegates by consensus without voting, in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.
Mr Gyekye Amoabeng expressed the hope that the national congress would also be peaceful to elect a good and marketable leader to lead the party to victory in next year’s elections.
This would enable the sitting NPP President to hand over to another NPP candidate due to the good works of the party over the past seven years.
“President Kufuor will definitely hand over to another NPP man because Ghanaians have seen the good works of the President and the party which are improving the condition of life of the people,” Mr Gyekye Amoabeng stated with confidence.
He, however, asked Ghanaians to rally behind the party for a resounding victory at the polls to enable the NPP to continue with its good works.
