By James Esuon, GNA   

Swedru, Feb. 2, GNA – Mrs Cynthia Mamle
Morrison, Member of Parliament (MP) for Agona West, has admonished
parliamentary aspirants and supporters to conduct campaigns devoid of insults
and character assassination to ensure peace and tranquillity in the Party.

She said parliamentary primaries are
internal elections the Party conducted to select suitable, credible, marketable
and unblemished candidates to contest polls against opponents in other
political parties in general election.

Mrs Morrison, also the Minister of Gender,
Children and Social Protection, gave the advice when she submitted her
nomination forms for the upcoming Parliamentary Primary at Swedru in the Agona
West Constituency.      

She urged the aspirants and their followers
to desist from slandering and humiliating their opponents and conduct decent
campaign, adding that insults and misconduct would not help the Party.

She called on the rank and file to ensure
that unity became their ultimate goal and the only panacea to help the Party
win the December 7 general election.

Mrs Morrison urged the delegates to endorse
her again to enable her to continue the good works started three years ago to
improve the living standards of the people.

She said the Government under President
Akufo-Addo had managed the fragile economy inherited from the previous
government and it had become one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Sahara
Africa.

Mr George Koranteng, the Agona West
Constituency Secretary of the NPP, who received the forms plus 10,000 Ghana
cedis submission fee, advised the aspirants and supporters to be tolerant and
unite in the interest of development.

He said since the nomination was opened on
January 20, 2020, only two people had, so far, picked forms to contest.
