A 42-year-old Koforidua businessman, Mr Ike Appaw-Gyasi, has declared his intention to contest the chairmanship of the New Juaben South Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Mr Appaw-Gyasi, who is currently the Eastern Regional Secretary of the NPP and was in the campaign teams of both former President J.A. Kufuor and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the party’s flag bearer for the 2008 elections, made his intention known at a press conference in Koforidua.
He said he had decided to take up the mantle to resolve the differences in the party in the constituency and unite the rank and file not only to retain the seat but also ensure that the party overwhelmingly won the presidential votes in the area in the 2012 general election.
To achieve that purpose, Mr Appaw-Gyasi, who stated that he did not belong to any perceived faction within the party in the constituency, said if elected chairman, he would immediately call for a stakeholders’ meeting to resolve internal differences.
He further stated that the party’s polling station executives and foot soldiers, who would benefit from training programmes to sharpen their skills for the 2010 polls, would also be taken good care of in all aspects, adding that the “winner-takes-all” syndrome would be a thing of the past under his chairmanship.
He said nobody within the NPP should be left out in carrying out the party’s good agenda for the 2010 elections and that he had positioned himself to lead the party to accomplish its agenda at the constituency level.
He, therefore, called for support from the rank and file of the party to enable him to execute his initiatives to improve the fortunes of the party for a resounding victory in 2012.
