This advice was given by an aspiring NPP Parliamentary candidate for the Asutifi North Constituency in the Ahafo Region, Mr Stephen Kwaku Manu Akuoko during an interview with Ghanadistricts.com

"We need to elect candidates who are patriotic, liked and support by the people in their Constituencies that can win more votes from floating voters and opposition parties to help us win more MP seats and secure second term for NPP," He added.

The renowned economist explained that 'election 2020 is going to be an issue based campaign and the NPP in our Parliamentary primaries should elect candidates with good attitude that can win the heart of voters from polling station to Constituency to increase our vote in the general election.

He noted that without a patriotic and selfless candidate it will be difficult to win the seat from the opposition member of parliament especially those seats occupied by the National Democratic Congress.

He advised that delegates should desist from the money politics syndrome where they don't vote for credible persons but rally their vote to those who give them money saying that will not do any favor for the party and the Constituency at large since such person may lack the needed leadership qualities to lead the party for victory.

Mr Stephen Kwaku Manu Akuoko also seized the opportunity to advice the aspirants to do politics devoid of insult and personal attacks since they are of the same ideology, instead come together to move the party forward.
