There is unease in the camp of New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Effutu Alexander Afenyo Markin over opposition National Democratic Congress’ (NDC) decision to select a former financier of the NPP, Dr. James Kofi Annan as its candidate for the area.
The need for a new candidate arose following the resignation of one Lawyer Victor Yankson as the Parliamentary Candidate for the Effutu Constituency on the NDC‘s ticket after election. Dr. Kofi Annan was however accepted in a proclamation by party faithfuls in a ceremony at Windy Bay Hotel in Winneba as the new candidate for the party.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Annan thanked the party for the trust reposed in him and pledged to work hard to wrestle power from the NPP’s Afenyo Markin.
“I will not abuse the trust reposed in me, but I will uphold my dignity and credibility locally and globally. As members of the party, let’s rekindle the spirit of the party that together we will fight to be victorious”.
