Nsuta (Ash), Nov. 20, GNA - Mr Sam Cudjoe, Ashanti Regional Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has urged members to rise above petty squabbles and ensure a united front as they prepare for the 2012 elections. He said it was important that party members eschew unnecessary distractions, which could send wrong signals to the populace. He was addressing a delegates' conference to elect new officers for the Nsuta-Kwamang-Beposo Constituency.

Mr Cudjoe asked the Constituency executives "to heal all wounds in the party" noting that multi-party democracy is essentially about numbers. "Let us make sure that we put our house in order. We cannot afford to fail Ghanaians in 2012," he said.

Mr Kwasi Owusu Kodua and Mr Maxwell Amoako retained their positions as Constituency Chairman and Secretary respectively. Other elected officers were Mr Kwabena Kwarteng, first Vice Chairman, Alhaji Essah Abdulai, second Vice Chairman, Mr Owusu Boahen, Assistant Secretary, and Kwame Acheampong, Organizer.

The rest were Mr Adu Acheampong, Treasurer, Mr Osei Wusu, Deputy Organizer, Miss Vida Antwi, Women's Organizer, and Mr. Kingsley Koduah, Youth Organizer. The Electoral Commission (EC) supervised the election. 20 Nov. 09
