The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has officially endorsed Solomon Kwame Asumadu, CEO of Owuo Mining Company, as its parliamentary candidate for the upcoming Akwatia by-election.
The endorsement comes after extensive consultations within the party's grassroots and a decision by party leadership to forego primaries in favour of consensus.
Speaking during the announcement, Eastern Regional NPP Chairman, Jeff Konadu, revealed that a committee was formed under the National Council to assess whether to hold primaries or pursue a consensus approach. "We went into the Akwatia constituency, engaged the grassroots, polling station officers, electoral area coordinators, chiefs, and opinion leaders.
The majority said there should be no primaries.
