Asante Juaben NPP delegates invoke curses over aspirant disqualification

Some aggrieved supporters and delegates of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Asante Juaben constituency of the Ashanti region are demonstrating over the disqualification of a parliamentary aspirant Francis Owusu- Akyaw by party executives.

Second National Vice Chairman of the party Fredrick Freduah Antoh on Thursday announced on Kumasi-based Abusua FM that some aspirants have been disqualified from primaries, a decision the supporters say is unconstitutional sparking the protest.

The supporters first converged at the Naboam community soccer park before they moved in their numbers to a river known as Nuno to invoke curses on the national executives for being unfair to their aspirants. The irate supporters are expected to address the media Friday afternoon.
