He called on the rank and file of the party to stay united and avoid utterances that would divide the party.

Paul Hopeson Kwaw who was a founding member of the NPP Atlanta branch in the USA, pledged his commitment to run a clean and decent campaign.

He also advised his followers to run a very decent campaign without attacking anybody in the party.

"I have pledged to run a decent and clean campaign so that after my victory I will not find it difficult to unite the rank and file of the party to unseat Dorcas Afo-Toffey of NDC and I have also advised my followers to run a very decent campaign", he stated.

He retaliated that when he becomes the MP for Jomoro Constituency, he would establish a coconut factory in the constituency to create employment for the youth and others.

On his part, Moses Andoh, the Jomoro NPP Constituency Secretary, expressed his happiness over the exercise.

He took the opportunity to advise the aspirants and their followers to focus on their campaign messages and avoid any form of personal attack.

"Our common enemy is the NDC, it is not NPP so we must run a clean campaign, I have advised the aspirants and their supporters to engage in a very decent campaign so that there will not be any problem in the party. I strongly believe if we do our things well, we will recapture the Jomoro Parliamentary seat because this seat was for us some years back", he advised.

The NPP opened nomination forms for prospective aspirants on Tuesday, July 11, 2023, in all the orphan Constituencies and closed the nomination and filing on Thursday, August 10, 2023.
