Stephen Ayesu Ntim, the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) candidate for national chairman, has warned his rivals in the contest for the chairmanship to refrain from making accusations, leveling vicious criticism, and making up rumors about one another.
Mr. Stephen Ntim gave a brief interview to several media representatives who visited him at his campaign office. He stated that when elections are just a few days away, it is common for opponents to spread untruths and engage in smear campaigns. As a result, he has urged his rivals and all other candidates to refrain from actions that could bring the party’s reputation into discredit.
“It is always the norm that during competitions such as the ones we are having, in order to get the upper hand, aspirants go overboard to peddle falsehoods against opponents. We must desist from such acts”
“If we take one another to the cleaners, how do we build bridges after the elections? How do we remain united after the competition? We must stop lying against one another, and that’s what can bring unity after elections” he advised.
He urged the delegates to reject aspirants who come with messages attacking opponents and lying against them.
“My appeal to the party’s delegates is that, they should reject messages that seek to denigrate other aspirants or candidates. They may come up with all manner of falsehoods against those who are likely to be crowned winners, just disregard such people and their messages” he said.
Mr. Stephen Ntim also used the opportunity to call on candidates to respect the guidelines for the elections.
Stephen Ntim, who is tipped to win the chairmanship race, is seen as a calm and respectful leader who is also fair but very firm. He is the most experienced of the National Chairmanship aspirants. With his fifth attempt at the chairmanship position, Ntim is tipped to be crowned on Saturday, July 16th, 2022.
