Tamale, Nov. 11, GNA – Mr Tingoti Francis Kombong, a former North East Regional Treasurer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has declared his intention to contest the party’s parliamentary primaries in the Bunkpurugu Constituency ahead of the 2028 general election.
Mr Kombong said he had formally submitted his declaration of interest through the party’s official online portal and paid the prescribed fee in accordance with guidelines announced by the party’s General Secretary.
In a press statement, Mr Kombong said his decision followed extensive consultations with party faithful, elders, women, youth and other stakeholders in the constituency.
He said his decision was also informed by his commitment to the development and welfare of the people of Bunkpurugu and his desire to continue contributing to the growth of the NPP.
Mr Kombong noted that his association with the NPP dates back to 1996, adding that he had served the party in various capacities at the polling station, constituency and regional levels over the past three decades.
He said his long-standing engagement with grassroots members had given him a deep understanding of their concerns, sacrifices and aspirations, which he believed would be important in strengthening the party’s structures and improving its electoral fortunes.
According to him, reclaiming the Bunkpurugu parliamentary seat in 2028 would require unity, commitment and collective effort from party executives, polling station officials and supporters across the constituency.
Mr Kombong pledged to abide by all guidelines and directives issued by the party’s National Secretariat and said he would await official clearance before undertaking any campaign activities.
He appealed to party members to remain united and focused on strengthening the NPP in the constituency ahead of future electoral contests.
