Some aggrieved branch executives at Mpasatia in the Atwima Mponua Constituency have protested their disqualification and the rejection of their nomination forms ahead of the ongoing New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling station elections.
The executives, numbering about 40, allege that the disqualification was deliberate and politically motivated.
They accuse the constituency chairman, Mr. Collins Addai; vice secretary, Mr. Ransford Atta; grassroots , John D. Ofori Atta(commando), and deputy women’s organizer, Madam Mary Asante Aseidu, of being behind the move.
According to the aggrieved executives, their forms were hidden during the filing process, making it impossible for their names to appear on the album.
They claim the action targets supporters of Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, while constituency executives backing Ken Agyapong seek to remove them from the party’s records.
We are almost 40 old executives who have been disqualified because we support Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. The constituency executives want to remove all Bawumia supporters from the album. We are calling on the regional executives, national executives, and the Flagbearer-elect to intervene, they told alleged.”
The executives also stated that the Electoral Commission official overseeing the election, Hon. Michael Awuku Amoah did not support the alleged actions and left the polling center as a result.
They are appealing to the party’s regional and national leadership to intervene and ensure a fair and transparent process in the polling station.
