The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) National Council has encouraged all potential presidential candidates to follow the party’s code of conduct and guidelines.
The Council has also warned that it will deal with aspirants who breach the party’s code of conduct for organising the presidential primary.
Aspirants are also prohibited from running as independent candidates or on the ballot of any other political party other than the NPP.
General secretary Justin Frimpong Koduah issued and signed a statement to that effect.
“He shall also undertake not to contest as an Independent Presidential Candidate or as a Candidate on the ticket of any other political party, and that, the NPP reserves the right to restrain him should he decide otherwise.”
The council further stated that it has taken notice of some unhealthy comments and utterances from some aspiring presidential candidates and their supporters, which do not auger well for the unity and cohesion of the Party.
“Accordingly, the Council, by this statement, reinforces compliance with the Code of Conduct for Presidential and Parliamentary Elections of the Party.
Any Aspiring Presidential Candidate, or his supporters, and party executives at all levels who act in contravention of the Code of Conduct, moving forward, shall be dealt with in accordance with the guidelines thereof and the Party Constitution,” the statement said.
