Alhassan Tampuli

The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority (NPA) Alhassan Tampuli, has been endorsed as the ‘consensus’ parliamentary candidate of the NPP for the Gushegu Constituency.

His endorsement comes as two aspirants namely incumbent Member of Parliament for Gushegu, Dr Ziblim Iddi, and Mahama Osman, pulled out of the race at the last minute.

Lawyer Tampuli was acclaimed by the National Steering Committee of the NPP on Wednesday, June 17, 2020 as the consensus candidate for the constituency looking at the prevailing dynamics.

Following his acclamation, some 19 executives of the NPP in the Gushegu Constituency have endorsed his candidature.

Mr Osman in his withdrawal letter had urged the party to pick a neutral person to contest the upcoming December 7 parliamentary elections in the constituency.

Among the executives who have endorsed Mr Tampuli are Mohammed Majeed, Constituency Chairman; Mohammed Inusah, Constituency Secretary; Abdulai Alhassan, 1st Vice Chairman.
