Stephen Ayesu Ntim, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman hopeful, has assured the party's Members of Parliament (MPs) that if given the nod, he will ensure that the party wins more seats than it did in the 2020 elections.

He explained that the party's inability to win more seats or maintain the number of seats it had prior to the 2020 elections had cost the party in Parliament.

"I am making this promise to you that if I am given the mantle of leadership of the party, we shall regain our list of seats and add a few ones to them so as to form majority in Parliament since the current hung Parliament has not been in favour of government business," Mr Ntim noted.

At a meeting with NPP Members of Parliament ahead of the party's National Executive election slated for July 16, 2022, he entreated NPP legislators, to support and assist his bid to become the national chairman, so as to deliver an overwhelming majority of seats in Parliament for the party.

Mr Ntim appealed to them to support and assist his bid for the national chairman which would encourage him to work assiduously with them to win more seats and retain existing ones so that with majority in Parliament and breaking the eight, the party would be able to effectively and efficiently take charge of government business in the House.

"I am appealing to you to support my bid for the national chairman, I pledge to work hand-in-hand with you and together, we will retain our seats and reclaim the lost ones and I will deliver an overwhelming majority of MPs in 2024 if you elect me as chairman on Saturday," he assured.
