Dome Kwabenya NPP Members Call For Justice In Order To Rebuild The Party In The Constituency
It would be recalled that during the 2022 New Patriotic Party internal elections in Dome Kwabenya Constituency; hundreds of polling station executives and party sympathizers were wrongly denied the opportunity to exercise their franchise leading to one contending group for constituency executive elections (all 10 aspirants) withdrawing from contest and the other contending group of aspirants (all 10 aspirants) going unopposed–something (an abomination) which has never happened in world politics before let alone in Ghana.
According to the group; it was as if this was a deliberate, well-caliberated and calculated attempt masterminded by Gt. Accra Chairman. Mr. Divine Agorhome and outgone General Secretary. Mr. John Boadu to shortchange them because despite the petitions and grave material evidences they had presented to regional, national and the Cecilia Dapaah Grievances Committees without any positive feedback; they had no option than to go to court.
“During proceedings both at the high court (Adenta) and circuit court (Kwabenya), it was clear that we had a case but then again it was also clear that some invisible hands which included Messrs. Divine Agorhome, Mike Oquaye Jnr and John Boadu were manipulating the case through the judges. This was evidently seen on the last court day at Kwabenya, where a police van zroomed into the court premises and after secretly confiding in one police man we were told Mike Oquaye Jnr asked them to come and protect the counsel for the defendants for fear of any skirmishes because the ruling won’t go in our favour”, the group said.
Apparently, with regard to this issue; the group, according to them, had held a press conference to register their disgust at the way things were been done by tabling a number of issues which included; the absence of polling station executives elections and the absence of electoral area coordinators elections in Dome Kwabenya, and the gross infractions and consistencies in the shoddily prepared constituency album.
As a result of these issues; the press release ghanaweb cited from myjoyonline upon its research indicates that all ten (10) constituency executives aspirants withdrew from contest in solidarity with their members who have been taken from the album, and called on its people to boycott the poorly, wickedly and shoddily organised flawed elections because they felt the party is forcing a particular group down their throat in the constituency in favour Mike Oquaye Jnr.
Reason being that, they have been targets of elimination by rough tactics simply because it is widely known that these people are sympathizers of Hon. Adwoa Safo.
According to the group which makes more than 60% of the total delegates in the constituency; this is a serious crime and the party shouldn’t think that because elections are over that is all.
The group is calling for Justice because they believe the party does not belong to Hon. Adwoa Safo and if the party has any issue with her why then must the innocent people who believe in the works and achievements of their Member of Parliament, Hon. Adwoa Safo, suffer the consequences thereof. And besides they do not have any information as to the real issues between their MP and the party.
The group seems extremely excited about the victory of Justin Frimpong Kodua, the new general secretary of the party and have welcomed the need for the party to break the eight which is a must but they also are of the firm objection that, they are not prepared to let this matter of injustice die naturally without having justice.
As at the time of filing this report; the group was preparing to embark on a mammoth health walk exercise by way of registering their open admiration and felicitations to the newly elected national executives and to hope that, they will come to their aid to save the dying world bank of the N.P.P.
