Lawyer and Senior Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil, has advised the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to consider letting its presidential candidate select his team, rather than electing party executives before choosing a flagbearer.
He thus backs proposed amendments to the national constitution of the New Patriotic Party to elect flagbearer ahead of national executive elections.
Speaking on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, July 19, during discussions on the NPP's National Delegates Conference, he used an evolutionary analogy to explain why a strategic change in approach would benefit the party. "We always say that Charles Darwin said survival of the fittest," he stated. "What he actually said is not that.
What he said is that the species that survives is the one that adapts best to its environment.
