Stephen Ntim, the National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has vowed to reconcile Independent Candidate Kwabena Owusu Aduomi with the party.

Aduomi, a former three-time NPP Member of Parliament for the constituency, opted to contest as an Independent Candidate in the Ejisu by-election.

He cited the NPP's failure to address concerns regarding the delegates' list, which he believes undermines the party's integrity and fairness.

Accusations of betrayal and suggestions of defection to the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were leveled against Aduomi by some NPP members. However, Aduomi refuted these claims, asserting his continued support from NDC backers.

In an interview with Citi News, Mr. Ntim expressed concern over the intra-party competition between two candidates from the same party.

“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.”
