Mr Agyare Koi Larbi, NPP MP for Akropong in the Eastern Region, says it was time the party assessed its shortcomings "to re-direct its leadership".

Mr Larbi said this when he announced his candidacy for the party's flagbearership and what he has up his sleeves to executives of the 22 constituencies in Greater Accra at the weekend. He said if given the mandate, he would ensure that "we set our priorities right by implementing the laid down programmes. "We should stop doing things the old way if we mean to win political power", Mr Larbi added.

Nii Ayite Boafo, Greater Accra regional secretary, urged members to be properly guided in their selection of a party leader.
