Nana Akufo-Addo who was on a visit to Brong-Ahafo as the eighth Region of his nationwide regional “Rise and Build” tour, made the statement at a meeting with some members, sympathisers and leadership of the Party in the  Region at the Sunyani Polytechnic’s auditorium.

The participants also included winners and losers of the Party’s parliamentary primary for Election 2016, Members of Parliament (MPs), former MPs and ex- Ministers of State during the era of the Party in government.

Nana Akufo Addo stated his commitment to the practice of an open-door policy to utilise the views of the rank and file of the Party, saying that, leaders and members must be accommodating and open their arms to embrace whoever has the wish, desire and zeal to join their folds.

He noted that the attitude, actions and inactions of some members and executives of the Party not only bred disaffection and disunity but also tended to ward off potential sympathisers and followers.

The Presidential Candidate, consequently, exhorted all the Party’s followers to use “a language of solidarity, fraternity and togetherness” among themselves and all residents in the Region to contribute to victory for the Party in 2016.
