ESTATIC supporters of the opposition New Patriotic Party
(NPP) in Tamale were beside themselves with joy at the
weekend when the results of the Presidential primaries of
the party were declared in the metropolis.
At all the three constituencies, Tamale North, Central and
South, Nana Akufo Addo won by large margins of votes over
his other four contestants.
Some of the supporters were spotted in their cars and on
their motorbikes adorned with party colours amidst tooting
of horns, waving of flags and singing praises to Nana Addo.
This was after the 7-hour voting exercise had ended
peacefully in the metropolis by 3 pm. Reports from the other
districts in the northern region also indicated that, party
supporters conducted themselves orderly.
An ardent supporter of the party, Mohammed described the
overwhelming victory of Nana as a “victory for the party
and the nation and for the people who are daily searching
for better life.”
“I will also like to congratulate the other competitors,
particularly Alan Cash for his gracious acceptance of
defeat. I wish to assure him that he would surely get the
nod the next time,“ he intimated.
A member of the student wing of the NPP at the Tamale
Polytechnic, Hamza Issah observed that, “the decision of
the Party to re-nominate Nana Addo as our Presidential
candidate is very reassuring as he had been marketed already
and has the wherewithal to compete the sitting
President.”
Fati Alhassan on her part commended the party faithful in
Tamale and the northern region for the show of maturity,
patience and tolerance during the entire period of campaigns
that culminated in the election on Saturday.
