NPP Makes U-Turn

NPP Communications Director, Nana Akomea, says it will only encourage male aspirants not to contest 16 seats held by female MPs insisting their affirmative action policy will not be forced down anybody’s throat.

In a major U-turn barely 18 hours after the party announced that no male will challenge female incumbents in the party’s parliamentary primaries, the NPP says this policy will rely on a “moral force” not a binding fiat.

“Nobody will be barred on the basis of gender” Nana Akomea told Joy News Tuesday.

More soon.
