Former Member of Parliament for Mfantseman West and one-time Information Minister in the erstwhile Kufuor administration, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, has expressed concern about how some Regional Executives and some key individuals in the party are busily campaigning for themselves and their favorites; a situation he says is a clear breach of the NPP�s constitution and procedures. Peacefmonline.com has stumbled upon an internal memo addressed to the National Council of Elders and Patrons, which is also copied to the NPP�s National Executive Committee, ex-President J.A. Kufuor and Nana Akufo-Addo. In the leaked internal memo, the former MP said General Secretary of the party, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie and National Chairman, Hon. Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey stands being accused of �clear bias� if allowed a central role of preparing the modalities for electoral processes within the party. To him, the �Thank You� tour of the country to be embarked on by some NEC members will be used as an �obvious objective of campaigning� and dropping of strong hints of their intention by some of the members. �Can they be trusted to conduct free and fair elections when others are also interested in competing with them?� Hon. Asamoah Boateng asks. Below is a reproduction of the internal memo.
