The Ashanti Regional Council of Elders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have said, they will boycott the party’s regional executive elections tommorow.
According to them, the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah and Wontumi have removed majority of their members from the album therefore will not exercise franchise in the polls.
At a presser on Friday evening, led by Rev Mark Adu-Gyamfi, the Ashanti Regional NPP Council of Elders Chairman said they submitted 10 names to compile the album for the polls, however 6 of the names have been removed and replaced by some unknown persons. The move by the party’s leadership he said is unfortunate.
Nana Wiafe Ababio, member of the council stated categorically that, they’re not going vote on the election day.
“We submitted 10 names to participate in the polls but they’ve removed 6 names in the album and replaced it with unknown names. We don’t know those names so we’re not going to vote tomorrow.” He stated
He added that,”with this kind of attitude, it will be difficult for NPP to break the eight. I won’t bother myself to campaign for the party anymore.”
