NPP 2016 campaign won’t be on radio political talk shows
General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic
Party (NPP) Kwabena Agyei Agyapong has stated that
political talk shows alone do not win elections.

According to the NPP Chief Scribe, his focus on
winning elections require actual hard work on the
ground by strengthening the party at the
grassroots level to show the young ones the way to
voluntarily work for the party.

Reacting to his boycott of Joy Fm’s Newsfile
program on electoral reforms, Kwabena Agyapong
reiterated on Oman Fm’s Morning Show that the
current NPP leadership will not allow a situation
where NPP Communicators are on radio stations for
political talk shows all the time.

He insisted that the 2016 election campaign will
not be ran from Accra in the studios of radio
stations; urging that as a practical leader, the
party members must go to villages and do hard work
if NPP is really interested in annexing power in
2016 elections.

He maintained that the 2016 elections campaign
will not entertain any lazy approach by sitting on
radio talk shows with the anticipation that they
are campaigning; adding that the NPP will still
honor invitations to political talk shows as he
appeared at Joy Fm to address the electoral
reforms.

“If speaking on talk shows wins elections, NPP
would have won elections long time ago. Winning
elections require actual hard work on the ground
and that’s my focus as a General Secretary for
my party. We want to strengthen the party at the
grassroots and show the young ones the way to
voluntarily work harder for the party”.

“We won’t allow a situation where every day
party members are on radio political talk shows
all the time. We are suppose to be in the
communities working with our party people….those
of us will go to the ground to work harder and
not, always we are in Accra; no way!”.

“This campaign will not be ran like that from
Accra in the studios of radio stations; we have to
go the villages and get ourselves dirty with the
people on the grounds….that’s politics if you
want to win an election; to do the hard work on
the ground and not lazing about on radio stations,
claiming we are campaigning. This is where our
focus is and if we have to appear on any program,
of course we will come as I appeared at Joy Fm”,
he stated.
