NPP Primaries: NPP Youth Wing In Greater Accra Dissociates Themselves From Openly Supporting Dr. Bawumia
Greater Accra Regional youth wing of the New Patriotic Party has dissociated themselves from their Youth Organizer's decision to openly declare support for Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia in the lead-up to the party's presidential election.
According to a statement signed by the youth wing, Dr. Bawumia's quest to contest the NPP flagbearer race is his "sole decision and must be seen as such".
They denied throwing their weight behind the Veep saying "there was no consensus made between the Youth Wing and the Regional Youth Organizer to openly declare support for DMB".
"...we are the party officers and the rules and regulations of the party is against any party officer to openly support any candidate. We will like to use this opportunity to advice our regional boss to take a second look at the party rules and regulations and advice himself accordingly", the statement further said.
The party's Regional youth is therefore calling on their "national executives to call The Greater Accra Regional Youth Organizer Hon. Moses Abor and his Deputy Hon. Mandela Wiafe to order since his action goes against the guidelines and codes of conduct outlined by the General Secretary which was approved by the National Council".

THE GREATER ACCRA CONSTITUENCY YOUTH ORGANIZERS DISASSOCIATE THEMSELVES FROM ABOR'S SOLE DECISION
The Greater Accra regional youth wing disassociates itself from our regional youth organizers' decision to openly declare support for His Excellency Dr. Mahmood BAWUMIA.
His decision is a sole decision and must be seen as such. We will like to state with no fear and Favour as follows;
1. That there was no consensus made between the Youth Wing and the Regional Youth Organizer to openly declare support for DMB.
2. That, we are the party officers and the rules and regulations of the party is against any party officer to openly support any candidate.
3. We will like to use this opportunity to advice our regional boss to take a second look at the party rules and regulations and advice himself accordingly.
4. That the party has a crucial election in 2024, and the youth wing wants to break the eight even more than anyone else.
However, our Regional boss should thread cautiously and not do things that will toil our chances and Jeopardize the future of the Youth Front.
We believe that openly declaring support for any candidate is not good for the party at this moment and we wish to state emphatically that Hon. Moses Abor is doing this for his own personal interest and not for the Youth Wing.
We humbly call on our national executives to call The Greater Accra Regional Youth Organizer Hon. Moses Abor and his Deputy Hon. Mandela Wiafe to order since his action goes against the guidelines and codes of conduct outlined by the General Secretary which was approved by the National Council.
In conclusion, all the aspirants contesting for the elections are our fathers and we cannot openly support any of them, however, the Greater Accra Youth Organizers are ready to work with whoever is elected as flagbearer of our dear party to help win the 2024 General Elections which is our ultimate goal.
