Bolgatanga, Aug. 18, GNA - Mr Rex Asanga, a contestant in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries in the Bolgatanga Constituency, has called on his supporters to campaign and vote for the Deputy Minister of Ports, Harbours and Railways, Dr Adombire Geyshika Agambilla, who defeated him.
Speaking at a meeting in Bolgatanga to plan strategies to rally support for the Party, Mr Asanga praised his supporters for their tireless efforts in canvassing for him prior to the primaries, accepting the shocking results and remaining calm and tolerant in spite of provocations.
The meeting, which was attended by the Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Rockson Ayine Bukari, was widely speculated to be a public relations strategy adopted by Mr Asanga and the MCE to clear the air about speculations that they were masterminding a campaign against Dr Agambilla.
