The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has issued a directive mandating all its parliamentary candidates to spend a "minimum of four days per week" in their respective constituencies.
The party says this is to strengthen their campaign efforts ahead of the upcoming December 7 general elections.
The party's general secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, said the party has observed that some parliamentary candidates are not consistently present in their constituencies.
According to him, the lack of engagement raises concerns about the potential impact on the party's performance in both presidential and parliamentary elections. "You should know that this lack of engagement would significantly affect our electoral fortunes in both presidential and parliamentary elections," part of the statement read.
