Members of the Zongo Vote Campaigners, a Pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) group, have urged the leadership of the party to urgently begin a stocktaking exercise to evaluate and identify the root causes of voter apathy that resulted in the party's defeat in the just-ended elections.
The group is concerned about the massive voter apathy that rocked the party's strongholds and emphasized that the NPP must not engage in blame games but rather resort to finding a solution.
Low voter turnout, largely due to voter apathy, significantly impacted the NPP's performance in the Ashanti and Eastern regions and other stronghold areas of the party.
Speaking at a news conference in Kumasi, on December 12, the Secretary of the group, Alhaji Abdul Mumin Castro, said that although the elections have ended, the leadership of the party must take steps to identify the lapses that resulted in the loss and make recommendations to right the wrongs for the future.
