A former Regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party in Ashanti Region, Mr. Fredrick Fredua Anto, has lamented that the mounting of billboards cost the party in 2008 when it had wanted to remain in power.
Addressing the raging issue on Wontumi TV, Chairman FF Anto, disclosed that he doesn’t want to waste precious time on the subject because of his strong opinion against the mounting of the structure.
“In 2008, we (NPP) were to break the 8 and we couldn’t so I know how such things break down the party”, he said.

The New Patriotic Party has banned its members from advocating for individual aspirants, parliamentary and presidential, at the upcoming National Annual Delegates Conference.
In a press release signed by the Director of Communications, Yaw Buaben Asamoa, the party stated that though they cherish the competition, the conference is a time of renewal aimed at enhancing party unity.
Hence, “Prior to and during the Conference on 18th to 20th December, 2021, no billboards and or signboards, banners or any kind of outdoor signage with the images and or names of individual members, with or without the consent of the individual, shall be acceptable.”
“This applies to the area within the Greater Kumasi Metropolis (where the annual conference will be held). All such displays, if put up already, should be removed,” parts of the statement read.
Furthermore, no t-shirts, flyers, brochures, and or souvenirs, branded and or embossed with the portraits and names of individuals, shall be allowed within the precincts of the Conference, including but not limited to places of accommodation for delegates,” Mr. Asamoa wrote.
