Nana Akomea, Chief Executive Officer of State Transport Corporation has urged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to remain united as the party heads to primaries on Saturday.
He believes that the party's popularity has declined and that internal divisions will further damage it.
"So far 17 people have been disqualified...I pray that there was a basis for their disqualification to avoid division and someone going Independent. It will be problematic if someone goes independent; especially now that the NPP is not popular. We need Unity, close all ranks and avoid divisions..." he urged during a panel discussion on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo'

The intra-party competition for political positions seems to have gone too far. The leadership should stand up and tone down some of these overheated nuances. I think at the moment personal egos are taking precedence over party interests, forgetting that if you eat all your eggs, you lose your chickens too. The backbiting is just too destructive to party unity, and you can't win a battle with disunited forces, if there are any. The Ken and Asenso issue was just too ***barred word*** and diabolical, coming as it did from Ken in support of his brother. And Ken, in his public utterances and political campaigns, wants everyone, especially the youth, to believe that he stands for the truth and that he will even put his family online if they go against the law.
