Sammi Awuku the member of parliament for Akuapem North has revealed the NPP presidential candidate Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia believes the status of the NPP needs to change before the 2028 elections.
According to Sammi Awuku, Dr Bawumia shares his opinion that the decision-making in NPP needs to widen.
Speaking on AsaasePa 107.3 Sammi Awuku detailed, “The status quo cannot remain, and I am very happy that Dr Bawumia shares the same view that the status quo cannot remain and he is one of the people who believe something must be done in terms of our reforms and take a position to widen it for people to be part of the decision making”.
Sammi Awuku further asserted that it is very clear that people are upset with the current electoral system in selecting a presidential and parliamentary candidate within the NPP.
He detailed, “I am all for people who have shown commitment to the interest of the party that when we are going we go with them, when we are crying we cry with them. If we leave the current electoral system as it is, that things should be the same for as to head into the 2028 elections it will be a problem”.
“The current electoral system that is used to select a presidential and parliamentary candidate, it is clear people are upset with that structure. What the voter wants we need to open it up those who are part of the decision-making process must not be a privileged few, but measures must be put in place for people to tick those boxes”, he revealed.
Sammi Awuku further revealed that some person he meets normally expresses their interest in voting in the NPP primaries.
“You can meet some people, and they will ask you this election which people qualify and how can they also vote, all these things are in the NPP constitution but it has not been enforced in the past”, he stated.
