In a letter signed by the President of the Grass root Campaigners Marfo Kwabena Sakyi, it said  campaigning for parliamentary candidate position can only be done twelve months before general election as clearly stated under Article 12 of the party's constitution,.

 The letter further stated that Lawyer Dickson Osei Assibey in 2012 defected from the NPP and contested as an  Independent Parliamentary candidate and is yet to be officially accepted by the party as a member with good standing and therefore has no right to meet any polling station executive.

The party has a sitting member of parliament(MP) Hon Benito Owusu Bio, who was recently elected by the good people of Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency,and so such premature campaign will distract him.

All the rank and file of the party in Atwima Nwabiagya North Constituency should support Hon Benito Owusu Bio on his mandate given to him by the  people of Atwima Nwabiagya North to enable him accomplish his developmental agenda, the letter stated.
