The New Patriotic Party’s international branch in China, NPP China, conducted special polls to sample the views of members concerning the upcoming Super Delegates Conference.
The voting which started on August 20 and ended on August 26 across all the chapters of the branch was meant to sample the opinion of majority of the members so as to inform the delegates who would be voting on behalf of the branch at the Super Delegates Conference on August 31, 2014.
Apart from the Shenyang and Xiamen Chapters of the party, all other chapters voted 100 percent for Nana Akufo-Addo. Results for the Shenyang Chapter saw Nana Akufo-Addo obtaining 66.7 percent of total votes cast while Alan Kyerematen obtained 33.3 percent. The other contestants obtained no votes. At the Xiamen Chapter, Nana Addo obtained 89.5 percent; Alan Kyeremanten obtained 5.3 percent while Joe Ghartey had 5.3 percent. The others obtained no votes.
Overall, party members of NPP China branch voted overwhelmingly for Nana Addo as their preferred candidate for the flag bearer position with an approval rating of 85.4 percent of all votes cast.
This reaffirms the party’s position of offering its total support to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo due to his excellent leadership qualities and his incorruptible personality.
Accordingly, the three super delegates who would be voting on behalf of NPP China, Dr Charles Dwamena, the Branch Chairman; Mrs Owusu Achiaw, Branch Women Organiser and Mr Owusu Achiaw, member of Council of Elders, have been tasked by the branch to vote for no other candidate than Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the sixth candidate on the ballot paper.
