Mr Ekow Ewusie, Business Consultant and a leading Member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has appealed to the regional executives to economically empower all polling station and constituency executives to become financial independent.

  He said the economic empowerment of the foot soldiers of the party would reduce incessant pressure and complaints exerted on the Ministers and Presidency for jobs and better living conditions.

  Mr Ekow Ewusie who was addressing delegates’ conference of Agona West Constituency at Agona Swedru in the Central region said if the grass root members continued to live in poverty it would be difficult for them to work hard for the party in the years ahead.

  The leading Member urged regional executives of the party to become innovative and lobby more to create an environment that would assist members working in rural areas to reduce agitations.

   Mr Ewusie stated that inadequate resources would discourage grassroot politicians and urged the leadership to resource them to work hard for 2020 Parliamentary and Presidential elections.

 Mr Ewusie who has declared his intention to contest the Central regional NPP Chairmanship position said complaints coming from grassroots after swearing-in of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo should be addressed.

According to him, all regional executives of the party need to move swiftly to settle petty squabbles in all constituencies to ensure peace and stability.

He pledged his determination to unite the party to make it stronger when giving the nod, adding that when the party is in government it looks different from when in opposition and everything possible should be done to bring them together.

  Mr Ewusie appealed to the party regional executives to resolve differences in the Agona West Constituency, saying ‘Agona West is very sensitive constituency in the political history of the Central region and needs to be salvaged. ‘ 

    He said  he was ready to unify  the  party in all the  23 constituencies  in the Central region to enable the party become viable  and vibrant, adding that NPP should  become friendly to all and sundry to encourage people outside to join the party.

Mr Ewusie called on the rank and file of the party to bury their differences and forge ahead to unite to support President Nana Akufo-Addo to implement policies and programmes rolled out to improve on the economy.
