Delegates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nadowli/Kaleo constituency of the Upper West region have in accordance with the constitution of the party acclaimed Hon. Francis Xavier Kambotuu as its Parliamentary candidate elect for the 2024 parliamentary elections.
The event, which took place on Sunday September 17 2023 at McCoy College in Nadowli, saw delegates who include polling station executives, electoral area coordinators, constituency executives as well as council of elders and patrons throng the venue to acclaim the candidature of Hon. Francis Xavier Kambotuu.
Hon. Francis Xavier Kambotuu was the sole aspirant to have filled nominations during the stipulated time and was endorsed and acclaimed by the electioneering process.
Addressing party faithful at the event, the Upper West regional chairman for the NPP Mr. SB Kangberee commended leadership of the party in the constituency and members at large for their ability to arrive at a compromise candidate. He intimated that it’s evidence of unity that would culminate in the party reclaiming the seat which hitherto was meant for Kaleo Jato a stalwart of the UP tradition. ‘You have done well! These days consensus is very rare; what we have now is an era of blames and insults’.
On his part, former Upper West regional scribe for the NPP who is the current Upper West regional Minister,Hon. Dr. Hafiz Bin Salih recounted that in 2012 when the party presented Dr. Boye Bandie in a similar fashion, he narrowly lost the seat. He therefore believes with some modicum of effort put into the campaign Hon. Kambotuu would annex the seat for the NPP.
Meanwhile, in his acceptance speech Hon. Francis Xavier Kambotuu pledged to operate an open door policy. ‘ As parliamentary candidate I’ll be ready to listen to the concerns of all of you which will serve as a guide in our campaigns. In the coming days we will come to your electoral areas for us to discuss various issues especially the projects and policies initiated by our government ‘.
The educationist cum politician noted that every party member is part of the constituency campaign team hence must be willing to work extra hard towards winning votes for the party.
In the run-up to the constituency parliamentary primaries, several persons should interest in contesting, but the party leadership were able to mediate the process hence the presenting of a sole aspirant for acclamation.
