The NPP constitution should be amended to allow the various candidates to vote. In the national constitution, presidential and parliamentary candidates also vote in the very elections they are contesting. Yesterday some NPP presidential hopefuls got zero (0) nationwide during the election to reduce the number of contestants from 10 to 5 . I felt sad for Dr Kofi konadu Apraku, if the contestants were allowed to vote he would have voted for himself and 1 vote would have been recorded instead of Zero. There is no need for a second round of elections between the other 2 contestants who got 9 votes each. They should meet at the headquarters of the party. The general secretary should take two pieces of paper and write on one of them thus " I want to join the other 4" . The other paper will be " I want to step down ". Fold the two papers and ask the 2 contestants to pick.What you pick is your own decision. No need wasting people's time and resources to vote again.
This is not necessary… any flag bearer who got below 5% should not go to the next level. The NPP constitution should be amended. It waste of resources and brings unnecessary tension.
