The Western Region Communications Directorate of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has reacted to media reports that the Chairman of party in Western Region, Francis Ndede Siah has thrown his support behind incumbent Member of Parliament for Kwesimintsim, Joseph Mensah for the 2020 parliamentary elections.

In a communique issued by Regional Communications Officer, Issah Fuseini, “We want to state on authority that the chairman per this speech only wanted to appeal to the good people of Kwesimintsim to rally behind the NPP parliamentary candidate in the general elections.”

Below is the full statement:

DISCLAIMER

The leadership of the New Patriotic Party in the Western Region by this disclaimer seeks to react to the content of a video that supposedly portrays the Western regional chairman of the ruling NPP Mr. Francis Ndede Siah openly supporting the incumbent MP for Kwesimintsim ahead of the constituency primaries on 20th June 2020.

We want to state on authority that the chairman per this speech only wanted to appeal to the good people of Kwesimintsim to rally behind the NPP parliamentary candidate in the general elections.

It should be noted that the said comment was made in the presence of a very diverse audience . There was therefore the need to use that opportunity to win extra support for the great NPP party.

Our chairman remains neutral and supports both aspiring and incumbent NPP parliamentary candidates contesting in the upcoming primaries.

We therefore urge all persons to disregard any reportage that suggests otherwise .

We wish all the parliamentary candidates the best of luck. May the best candidates win.
Thank You.
