Deputy Communications Director of the NPP-USA branch has endorsed Madam Obaa Yaa Amponsah Frimpong as his preferred choice to win the chairmanship position of the party in the impeding conference.
In an article published on Thursday, Kwame Kyeretwie-Amponsah, who is popularly referred to as Stonash, said Obaa Amponsah, if elected would work to heal the wounds of disillusioned party members and foster unity in the party.
Stonash praises Obaa Amponsah for what he described as her broad based support across USA, her contributions to the party at all levels and her ability to accept divergent views.
“Obaa Amponsah Frimpong has been a known voice within the rank and file of the NPP USA branch.
“Her dedication to the cause of the NPP is unquestionable. She held the forth in the Colorado Chapter which saw her elevation to the second vice chairperson position of the branch during the Nana Agyei-Yeboah led administration.
“She never missed out on any of the branch's events regardless of where it was held. She was part of the many demonstrations that were held against the then incompetent Mahama government in Washington DC and New York City.
“When duty called in Ghana, Obaa Yaa Frimpong was there. She helped led the mobilized diasporans to effectively discharge their duties to the party before during and after the 2016 elections.
“The presence of Obaa Yaa as always felt in NPP-USA was equally felt in Ghana during the elections,” the NPP communicator wrote.
Obaa Yaa, according to Stonash, represents the broader mass of the Ghanaian populace in the USA the NPP needs to win elections, and therefore, choosing her as chairperson would enhance the party’s chances in 2020.
He added: “On the contrary, her opponent, Dr. Anthony Adade is little known in the NPP-USA fraternity. After serving as the chairman of the Worcester Chapter of the branch in its early stage, the good Doctor went into complete political hibernation.
“And he’s been away for far too long for over a decade and a half until recently when he surfaced in the affairs of the branch just because he was asked by the Worcester chapter to release his house for a dinner meeting with the then-candidate Nana Akufo-Addo. But for before these times, nothing was absolutely heard of him or from him in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 elections.
“Dr. Adade’s claim to contest for the chairmanship race is merely on giving his house out to host a dinner meeting on behalf of the chapter.
“But in all these insights, just like fellow patriots in Ghana, the NPP-USA branch members rewards loyalty, dedication and commitment to the cause of the party”.
“These are the very factors that will decide the outcome of the elections. Going by this trend makes the prediction of the outcome of the election of the chairman/chairperson easy. And talking to voters across the state give me sense of what the outcome will be outcome of the election of the chairman/chairperson easy. And talking to voters across the state give me sense of what the outcome will be”.
