Let’s work together to deliver over 50k votes for NPP in Bimbilla constituency – Nitiwul

Members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bimbilla constituency have officially endorsed Dominic Nitiwul, the Minister of Defence, as their parliamentary candidate.

Nitiwul emerged as the sole aspirant for the parliamentary election after the disqualification of another candidate, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Zaruk, by the NPP’s National Executive Committee.

In his acceptance speech, Dominic Nitiwul expressed confidence in securing the seat once again.

He called on constituency executives, former MPs, former Ministers, and party members to collectively strive for the party’s goal of securing over 50,000 votes.

“We have 86,000 registered voters. In the last elections, I got 40,023 votes, but it means nothing because every voter will decide who to vote for on December 7. All of us, have to work like we have never worked before to get every vote.”

If you are chairman or a secretary, youth organiser or women organiser, or whichever position you hold in this party, former MCEs, former MPs, former Minister, or former DCEs, we have to put our working gears on to ensure that we deliver the over 50,000 votes the party is looking for.”

The disqualified aspirant, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Zaruk, has called for calm among party members following his disqualification.

Despite expressing discontent with the decision, Zaruk urged his supporters to respect the verdict of the National Executive Council.

Addressing a gathering of NPP supporters in Bimbila, Zaruk stated, “I urge my people to be patient with the decision of the National Executive Council. The disqualification has been bitter for all of us, but we must be patient. Additionally, I appeal for patience in all party matters.”

“I came to urge my people on two issues – the first issue is that they should be patient with the decision of the National Executive Council. The decision to disqualify me has been bitter for all of us, but we have to be patient with that. Also, I urge them to be patient with all that is happening at the party.”

Furthermore, Zaruk alleged that the incumbent NPP MP, also the Defence Minister, and his associates orchestrated his disqualification, raising concerns about the motives behind the decision.
