Chaos At Okaikwei South As NPP Delegates Threaten To Halt Constituency Elections

Some New Patriotic Party (NPP) delegates in Okaikwei South have vowed to block the conduct of constituency executive elections if names of qualified delegates are not included in the register. They claim over 430 names have been deleted from the register, adding that people from other constituencies have rather been included in

the album to partake in the exercise. They also alleged that some members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have also been added to the register to increase the fortunes of some aspirants. According to them, the old album which includes their names should be used to conduct the elections. The victims include the

Constituency’s Deputy Women’s Organiser and other leading members who say they have worked for more than two decades for the Party. When the album was brought, I went to the exhibition and did not see my name in it. I am fighting for my right and will not allow for the elections to be held until they bring the old album.

The matter is in court; so, if they will not obey the court orders but go ahead to hold the elections, they must as well kill all of us. I vote at the Prince of Peace polling station. They earlier told us they would maintain all the delegates and then where necessary, add new ones we agreed. Our request for the album was also declined on

occasions. It was only yesterday that our leaders got it from the Region, only for us to realise that 413 delegates’ names have been taken out, some of delegates lament. Meanwhile, First Vice-Chairperson of the Constituency, William Songoh, agrees the elections must be put on hold until the issues are duly resolved.
