Kwabena Agyepong, Paul Afoko's days are numbered - Kwesi Pratt
Managing editor of the Insight newspaper, Kwesi
Pratt has said Kwbena Agyepong and Paul Afoko risk
losing their seats as General Secretary and
Chairman if Nana Akufo-Addo is elected flagbearer
of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He said actions by some members of the party
indicate that both of them – especially the
General Secretary Kwabena Agyepong are not needed
as leaders of the party and that they risk being
relegated to the background during the 2016
elections if Nana Akufo Addo wins the primaries.

Speaking on Radio Gold's 'Alhaji Alhaji' programme
he said “the days of Kwabena Agyepong and Paul
Afoko are numbered if Nana Addo wins the
primaries. They should think deeply about their
future. There is a deliberate action to sideline
them from the 2016 general election because
anytime he says something concerning the party,
someone from the party will come and say another
thing to contradict what he has said”.

He mentioned comments made by former General
Secretary of the party, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie
claiming that the two executives are mismanaging
affairs of the party as just an example of how
unpopular they both are within the party.

Over 140 delegates of the NPP are voting to elect
a flagbearer who will assist the party in winning
the 2016 general elections.

The three contending candidates; Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, Alan Kyerematen Addai Nimoh have all
promised to take the party out of opposition and
bring it back to power.

But Mr Pratt said all actions from members of the
party indicate that Nana Akufo-Addo will be voted
flagbearer and that he is totally convinced that
it is so.

“I have no doubt that Nana Addo will be elected
as flagbearer of the party”.

He said Nana Akufo-Addo should not be flattered
when he wins the race because becoming flagbearer
does not “secure him a place at the Flagstaff
House”.

His greatest task after winning will be how to
overcome the internal problems of the party and
that can only be done with a united party.
