NPP issues ‘warning’ to party stalwarts after Alan’s purchase of forms for aspiring polling station executives

The leadership of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it has taken note of reports that some leading personalities of the party have procured application forms for aspiring polling station executives.

This comes after Trade Minister Mr Alan Kyerematen has reportedly paid for nomination forms for all aspiring polling station executives across the country.

Mr Kyeremateng is reported to have funded the entire nomination forms in all 275 constituencies to facilitate the ongoing polling station level election process within the elephant family.

To lessen the burden on the grassroots leaders, the party stalwart sent out moneys to the various constituencies to cover the cost which otherwise would have been borne by the very grassroots members of the party.

In the case of orphan constituencies Mr Alan Kyerematen paid for both the nomination forms and the cost of the passport pictures of the aspiring polling station executives.

But, at a press conference in Accra on Monday February 21, the National Chairman of the NPP, Mr Freddie Blay advised that any such matters relating to financial support in this process must be channeled through the National Party Secretariat for uniformity, fairness and accountability.

“Further to this, it is also reported that some leading personalities have procured application forms for aspiring polling station executives. The party wish to advise that any such matters relating to financial support in this process must be channeled through the National Party Secretariat for uniformity, fairness and accountability,” Mr Blay said.
