Former Minister of Food and Agriculture Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto says the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will need all on board in order to ‘break the 8’ come December 2024.
“You cannot break the 8 with half an egg,” he said on Monday, June 19.
“It has to be the full egg and everybody in this party is important in this respect, especially the delegates who have been given the constitutional powers to choose a flagbearer of this party.”
The former Kwadaso Member of Parliament (MP) was speaking at the party’s headquarters where he submitted his nomination forms for the upcoming presidential primaries.
He promised to abide by the rules of engagement going into the primaries, calling on other aspirants to do same.
He, however, expressed confidence that he will be given the nod by the delegates at the end of all the campaign activities.
“I hope that at the end of the day, we will be given the opportunity for delegates to listen to us and make the right choice so that this party can retain power come 2024.”
