Fomena NPP executives smoke peace pipe after Napo’s intervention

Following the timely intervention of Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, the Vice Presidential candidate to the New Patriotic Party flagbearer, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, the two feuding parties in the Fomena Constituency of the Ashanti Region, have finally reconciled.

The disagreement led to the locking of the party’s office in Fomena for four years, which adversely affected the day-to-day management of the party to the chagrin of NPP members and sympathizers.

Napo’s arbitration skills

But Dr Prempeh’s arbitration skills came to bear when he managed to bring the two feuding parties together when he visited Fomena to campaign for votes for Dr Mahamadu Bawumia on Friday morning.

Sources in the in-camera meeting said Dr Prempeh displayed maturity as he carefully listened to both parties, including the current and past executives of the party, who have been at loggerheads for four years.

Having listened to the concerns of the parties, the NPP vice presidential candidate then admonished them to forgive and forget about the past and rather unite and work together in the interest of the elephant family.

Napo said the NPP administration, led by President Akufo-Addo, has worked tirelessly over the last eight years to put the country on the path of prosperity so the party should retain power and sustain its good works.

He therefore told the feuding parties that the NPP anticipated victory can only happen in an atmosphere of peace and unity, so the party’s members should come together and campaign for the NPP.

Fomena NPP parliamentary candidate

Touching on the current happenings in the NPP in Fomena, Napo said the party’s decision to settle on the sitting independent MP for Fomena, Andrew Asiamah, as their parliamentary candidate for the 2024 polls, is appropriate.

He explained that Andrew Asiamah, despite getting to parliament as an independent candidate during the 2020 polls, has always supported and worked together with the NPP members in the August House.

In this regard, Napo said the party leadership after deliberations, decided that Andrew Asiamah, who traces his political roots in the NPP, should be allowed to contest the Fomena seat on the ticket of the NPP.

This decision, he said, will help bring back NPP members who left the party when Andrew Asiamah contested as an independent candidate to the party, thereby increasing the NPP votes in the constituency.

Napo, therefore, admonished the NPP members in Fomena to rally behind Andrew Asiamah so that he could win the Fomena parliamentary seat for the NPP to enable the party to control parliament with majority seats.

The NPP vice presidential candidate’s counsel touched the hearts of the two factions as they willingly agreed to bury the hatchet and rather work together for the party’s victory on December 7, 2024.

Former NPP chairman’s promise

After Napo’s remarks, the former Fomena NPP Constituency Chairman, Akwasi Nti, leader of one of the factions, who was in possession of the party office keys, quickly handed it to the party’s current executives.

Akwasi Nti, on behalf of his faction, said out of the respect they have for Napo, they have decided to forget about the past and work with every member of the party in Fomena to ensure massive electoral victory for the NPP.

The current NPP chairman’s assurance

Akwasi Adom, the sitting Fomena NPP Constituency Chairman, also called for peace and appealed for forgiveness from those he had wronged in the ongoing feud.

He also promised to lead a united NPP in Fomena before, during, and after the upcoming presidential and parliamentary elections, urging his party members to uphold hard work at all times.
