The NPP organized its national annual delegates conference from the 15th to 17th of July, 2022, to among other things elect national executives to steer the affairs of the party for the next four years.
The NPP Delegate, during this event, has once again demonstrated that indeed, the interest of the party supersedes the interest of any particular individual, group, or section of our party, whether big or small.
The positive defiance exhibited by the NPP delegate, is another great achievement that would shape our political discourse and also awaken our sense of appreciation of the power entrusted to us by the people.
Despite the exorbitant campaign launch, that assembled almost all those who matter in our great party to the Aliza hotel to sing chorus of endorsements, coupled with the multiple and flamboyant national campaign tours that saw the outgone GS and his auxiliary teams tour the regions as many as four times in some regions.
The use of loudmouth Chairman Abrony3 to launch needless attacks on political opponents, the gross display of opulence and extravagance, followed by the well rehearsed endorsements that were well timed and accurately executed across the country, the YEA /Zoomlion propaganda against JFK, the anti-Bawumia campaign, the popular big 15 declaration by our respected regional chairmen that eventually made them police the ballot booths to whip delegates in line, the sponsored media opinion polls and research findings, the intimidation and whipping by top government appointees that later descended to our regions and Constituencies, the mouthwatery promises made to our delegates, the threat of unbearable victimization by people in power, scarecrow job placement opportunities promised at NADMO and other public institutions, the electoral machinations including the inclusion of the homemade proxy list unto the electoral register, the shadow and unfortunate court injunction of the TESCON delegates, the use of the security to intimidate opponents, conspicuous favour from the government and all others most of which cannot be captured here for very obvious reasons, the NPP delegate demonstrated a high sense of sophistication and resistered the oppressors whims and caprices.
At a point, we were even made to understand that the entire NPP has only one gentleman through whom the party breaths. The soul and spirit of the party who is an epitome of experience and wisdom without whom the party was going to crush down. The Adwenkese3 of our time!
The NPP delegate remained determined and with rabbit alert, associated with the cry of the grassroots for a change.We have always been under the illusion that the delegate would fall for the highest bidder but that was not the case this time around.
My respect and admiration for the NPP delegate has risen to a record high and I can’t fail to express it clearly here.
You have listened to the cry of the ordinary party people and given back hope to the grassroots.
The people hold your selfless verdict in high esteem and salute your resilience, selflessness and quest to keep the party in power after 2024.
We can not love you less for giving us reason to celebrate your empathy for the grassroots.
I have personally learnt a lot including the fact that, the power of the people, is stronger than the people in power!
Let no one take the people who give us power for granted for any reason under the belief that they would always have their way out including financial inducement.
I believe a lot more would learn lessons from this and cherish and hold the power of the people with the reverence it deserves.
May the NPP grow stronger and stronger to break the 8 years jinx.
Congratulations to the NPP delegate!
