THE Patriotic League, a group sympathetic to the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called on supporters of the party to stop the formation of groups championing the course of leading members of the party.
It said what the NPP needed right now was a united front to recapture power in the 2012 elections.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic, the spokesperson of the group, Mr Evans Nimako, said the PL would not sit for self-seeking individuals or groups to hijack and toy with the overall interest of the party membership across the length and breadth of the country.
“The zeal and compassion of the party membership as well as trust and confidence that the general public had in the NPP that catapulted us into power in 2001 is what we should work towards to make capturing 2012 political power a reality,” he said.
Mr Nimako cautioned all party members to uphold and defend the constitution of the NPP and not act in ways to derail the course of the party.
He said the PL was yearning for a critical internal audit to be conducted to enable the party identify where it went wrong and how to overcome them in future elections.
Mr Nimako said the PL, therefore, welcomes the Dr Heyman’s Committee set up by the National Chairman of the NPP to review the party’s performance in the 2008 elections.
“We implore the committee members to be impartial, fair and firm in handling the enormous tasks assigned them. Posterity will either praise or disparage their work,” he said.
