The Northern Regional Concern Youth Group of NPP held a Press Conference in Tamale to register their displeasure on the unavailability of forms for the party’s polling station portfolio.
Chief Pagra Wurishie Naa who is the chairman of the Concern Group, Said Chairman Samba and his team is hoarding nomination forms to prevent people they perceive not to be their Supporters from picking same to contest for polling stations executive’s positions.
He added that, the Sole interest of Northern Regional Chairman NPP and his team is to get their people into the polling stations executive’s positions to vote for their favorites potential candidates in the upcoming constituency executive elections in April when nominations are open.
The chairman and his team are responsible for the recent happenings and complains in the constituencies such as, Tolon, Nanton, Savelugu Yendi, Tamale South, Mion and from all the 18 constituencies.
Chief Wurishie Naa indicated that, there was a case where good long-Standing party members went to pick nomination forms but were denied, which led to subsequent agitations and and some constituencies organizing press conferences to make their grievances known to the National executive committee of the party.
They stated categorically that, they will not seat idle to watch the self-centered Chairman Samba and his team players with the little trust the grassroots have for the party and also to make NPP loose any of the Nine (9) Parliamentary seats they are currently occupying.
The group calls on the National Council to intervene to make sure that all eligible members have access to the forms as directed earlier on.
If the concerns raised are not adhered to we will use all available democratic and legal means to stop various committees from continuing the process until our concerns are addressed.
