Former
National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Anthony
Karbo says Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia does not desire to become the flagbearer
of the party.
Contributing to a panel discussion programme on
Oman FM on Monday, Anthony Karbo averred that party’s 2012 Vice
Presidential candidate; Dr. Bawumia has not nursed any interest to step
into the shoes of Nana Akufo Addo because his “focus really is to see
how we can build a formidable party…”
“Dr. Bawumia currently is not considering any or harboring any intentions whatsoever to run as leader of this party.” he noted.
However,
he found it desirable for any member within the party to contest the
flagbearership position, hence indicating that he would be “very
surprised if all those potential leaders of our party, those who want to
lead this party, can tell me that national elections in this party will
go on without their preferences. That will be completely
irresponsible.”
To him, all the party members have their own
choices and should be allowed to vouch for their potential candidates
without any intimidation.
He also called critics of the party’s
General Secretary, Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, to order, asking “who in
the NPP, the scheme of things in the NPP, doesn’t know that Sir John’s
sympathies were to Akufo Addo; even in my election as National Youth
Organizer?” |
