Central NPP Youth strategize to win back lost seats

Cape Coast, Aug.9, GNA - The Central Regional Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party, Mr Francis Ejaku Donkoh, has said the youth would execute effective strategies to recapture the eight seats lost in the Region in the 2008 elections.

Consequently, all party supporters and sympathizers should close their ranks and rally behind their flagbearer to ensure victory for the party in the next general elections.

Mr Donkoh, who said this in an interview with the GNA, in Cape Coast, said that the Party would soon hold a "family meeting" to forge reconciliation among its rank and file, who were divided into factions during the campaign for the various presidential aspirants.

He appealed to all polling station agents, constituency executives and electoral area coordinators to do away with the bitterness and rancour and form a formidable team whose main objective is to secure power in 2012.

Mr Donkoh expressed optimism that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo would be the next President, following the 2012 elections, and appealed to members of the party to allow their internal structures and desist from rushing to the press each time they were aggrieved.

Nana Akufo-Addo won a landslide victory in the NPP's primaries on August 7,

which was also contested by Alan Kyerematen, Isaac Osei, Professor Kwabena Frempong-Boateng and the Reverend John Kwame Koduah.
