NPP suspends primaries in 10 constituencies
The New Patriotic Party says it is postponing
parliamentary primaries in 10 constituencies.

Come next Saturday, April 30, the party will hold
primaries across the country to elect
parliamentary candidates for Election 2012, except
in the 10 constituencies.

The affected constituencies are Zebila, Talensi,
Abuakwa North, Sisala East, Sisala West, Sege,
Nkawkaw, Bosome Freho, Obom-Domeabra and Bekwai.

Party officials say the decision to delay the
primaries in the 10 constituencies is strategic
and is in the best interest of the party.

Deputy Communications Director of the party, Perry
Okudzeto told JOY NEWS members at the constituency
level are satisfied with this decision .

He explained that a level playing field would have
been created for all interested candidates by the
time the primaries are held in those
constituencies.


About 516 persons are set to context the 220
constituencies on April 30.
