Reconciling Independent Candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi with the party is a commitment made by Stephen Ntim, National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

In the Ejisu by-election, Aduomi—a former three-time NPP member of parliament for the constituency—chosen to run as an Independent Candidate because, in his opinion, the NPP has neglected to address serious issues regarding the current delegates’ list, endangering the party’s integrity and impartiality.

A few NPP members suggested he had defected to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) and accused him of betrayal.

Aduomi denied these allegations and emphasized that he continues to have the backing of NDC supporters.

Mr. Ntim voiced concerns regarding the two candidates from the same party running against one another in an interview with Citi News.

“Yes, it is worrying because the two main competitors, Aduomi and Kwabena Boateng belong to the same fold, family. We should not be looking at jubilating, I’m not jubilating. My focus now is on how to bring the Aduomi factor back to the fold, bringing him back to the family.

“So that in December when we are going to face the real political opponents, we are going us a unified NPP front. It shouldn’t be difficult at all. Whatever it is, we are going to reach out. As a national chairman, I’m promising you, we will take up the mantle and reach out to him.”
