Amoah Awuku files nomination forms to contest Ashanti regional secretary position
*Amoah Awuku files nomination forms to contest Ashanti regional secretary position.*
A former Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Atwima Nwabiagya South, Hon. Amoah Awuku, has warned that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) risks remaining in opposition for up to 12 years unless it urgently reforms its internal structures, restores discipline and rebuilds public confidence.
He made the remarks yesterday after filing his nomination to contest for the position of Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NPP.
Hon. Awuku said his decision to seek the office was driven by what he described as a genuine fear that the party could spend a prolonged period in opposition if members failed to learn from past mistakes.
According to him, the NPP must undertake serious introspection and address the issues that have weakened its image among the Ghanaian electorate.
He noted that the increasing tendency of party members to publicly attack one another has created a negative perception about the party and undermined its credibility.
“I benefited from the party, and now that it is in opposition and struggling, I believe it is my responsibility to step in and support efforts to ensure that we bounce back to power,” he stated.
The aspiring Regional Secretary said his immediate priority would be to help restore the NPP’s political dominance in the Ashanti Region, regarded as the party’s electoral stronghold.
Hon. Awuku maintained that discipline must once again become the hallmark of the NPP, arguing that many Ghanaians had become unhappy with some conduct exhibited by sections of the party in recent times.
He therefore appealed to delegates to entrust him with the mandate to serve as Ashanti Regional Secretary, promising to work tirelessly to rebuild the party and reclaim its electoral fortunes.
