Western Regional executives of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), together with constituency chairpersons across the region, have picked nomination forms at the party’s headquarters in Accra for the immediate past Western Regional Tre asurer, Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza.
The executives, led by Western Regional Chairman-elect Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa and Secretary-elect Kwesi Bonzo, have declared their full support for Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza, who is contesting for the position of First National Vice Chairperson in the party’s upcoming national elections.
According to the regional executives, Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza is currently the only candidate from the Western Region seeking a position at the national level, making her candidature one that deserves the collective backing of the region.
The executives believe her experience, capacity, and previous service to the party at the regional level position her as a strong candidate capable of representing the interests of the Western Region at the national level.
Speaking before the submission of GH¢30,000 towards the purchase of the nomination forms, Western Regional Secretary-elect Kwesi Bonzo said the entire regional executive and constituency chairpersons had come together to demonstrate their support for her candidature.
“All the Western Regional executives, together with all the constituency chairpersons, are present here to purchase nomination forms for our immediate past Western Regional Treasurer, Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza, who is contesting for the position of National Vice Chairperson. We all support her to win the position for the Western Region,” Western Regional Secretary-elect Kwesi Bonzo indicated before submitting cash of GH¢30,000.
Western Regional Chairman-elect Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa also stressed the importance of having a representative of the Western Region at the national decision-making table.
He said the regional executives were determined to support one of their own and expressed confidence in Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza’s experience and ability to deliver.
“Hon. Horma is one of us, and we are showing her support. They say the best comes from the West. Nobody should stand in our way. We are here to show support to one of our own, and we are going all the way with her. We know her capacity, her experience, and everything. We need to be at that table, and Horma is the person we are bringing,” Ignatius Kwasi Afrifa, Western Regional Chairman-elect, indicated.
The move marks a strong show of unity among the Western Regional leadership and constituency chairpersons as they rally behind Hon. Horma Akaisi Mieza ahead of the NPP’s upcoming national elections.
The regional executives are hopeful that delegates will support her bid and enable the Western Region to secure a strong voice at the national level of the party.
