"Devilish moves to prevent some polling station executives from contesting in Assin South won't work" – Concern NPP Members

Some concerned members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Assin South Constituency have described the alleged ongoing clandestine moves to prevent some members of the Party from contesting in the upcoming polling station election as a recipe for disaster.

According to them, the woes of the party will further deepen if the "wicked and evil manipulations" of the nameless and self-serving puddles are not stopped before it consumes the party.

Briefing the media on Friday at Nyankomasi-Ahenkro, Mr Nathaniel Koomson, the spokesperson for the aggrieved members called on the national leadership of the Party to immediately intervene.

"The party must stop the ongoing devilish moves to prevent the scores of enthusiastic party faithful who have worked tirelessly for the party your years from contesting.

“We demand sincere leadership that is impartial and dedicated to upholding the tenets of democracy, particularly fair elections. We know they are determined to go all out to prevent many from contesting but we only plead for the processes before, during and after the election fair.

“It should not be overlooked that, the results of this impending election has huge potential on subsequent elections. We know they want to stop many people in major communities along the highway extending from Nyankoma-Darmang-Adubiase for reasons best known to them but that will not happen,” he said.

He also appeal to Mr Frederick Owusu Aduomi, Constituency Chairman, Mr Daniel Appiani, Chairman, Assin South Elections Committee, Mr Elvis Bosomtwe, Secretary to the Elections Committee, Mr Vincent Darkwa, Research Officer among others to immediately intervene to save any electoral catastrophe in the constituency.

He said: "We know all their plans, several meetings, conference calls and shameless messages in their whatapp groups."

"It is unfortunate and heartbreaking that the cruel and insensitive political manipulations are led by so-called " men of God and some experienced and respectable seasoned politicians who have sold their political conscience. We have our searchlight on them and we will meet them squarely," the group said.

Mr Koomson expressed surprise about how some constituency executives among other faceless people are spearheading the unfortunate and mind-boggling agenda.

He expressed their unflinching resolve to resist all political oppressors whose personal and parochial interest override their sense of fair judgement.

"The Party prides itself as the pioneer of Ghana’s democratic dispensation with development in freedom as its accolade, hence it should not subvert the Constitution," he stated.

Mr Koomson said Article 3(f) of the party constitution states that: A Member may be suspended from membership of the Party, or holding any office in the Party, pending an inquiry into his or her conduct by a Disciplinary Committee.

According to him, any decision to suspend a member shall not be taken unless the nature of the complaint has been communicated to the Member in writing, and disciplinary proceedings have been initiated against such member.

Mr Koomson called on all prospective polling station aspirants to remain dedicated to the course of the party.

They should also impress upon their constituency executives to ensure all members are not denied the opportunity to serve their party and Ghana.
