Member
of Parliament of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for Ablekuma West,
Ursula Owusu has euphemistically declared war, come 2016.
Analyzing
the outcome of last year's elections and the NPP's petition at the
Supreme Court to seek for a redress over what the party leaders termed
as rigging and irregularities in the electoral results, Hon. Ursula
Owusu called on her party faithfuls to stand resolute and ensure that
they are not cheated during the 2016 general elections.
She
bemoaned the unfortunate incidents that preceded the 2012 elections and
was hopeful her party will be more vigilant next time around.
The
2016 elections, she earnestly stated, is "going to be a war at the
polling stations…2016 will be worse…Nobody will go to the court; we will
slug it out at the polling stations. We will do whatever it takes to
ensure that we get the results we want and I’m saying that in all
seriousness.”
Contributing to a panel discussion programme on
Oman FM, she also implored the party supporters to critically assess the
candidates vying for positions in the NPP and vote for the selfless
ones bent on unifying the party.
She charged them not to allow nepotism to cloud their voting pattern.
“We’re
in opposition, so, we need all the help we can get. So, we need
selfless committed people who are prepared to sacrifice in the greatest
interest of NPP…We don’t just want anybody at all to come and join the
party leadership at all levels. We need those who can sacrifice and
defend the party.”
