Concerned NDC members in the Bono East Region have cautioned an American-based Ghanaian, Shaibu Mohammed Baba, to stay from the party’s chairperson role in the region.
The NDC will hold internal polls in December of this year, 2022, and the American ‘Borga’ is interested in running for the Bono East NDC Chairmanship.
However, the concerned party members claim that Shaibu Mohammed Baba is ineligible to run for any position in the NDC due to the party’s internal election guidelines.
According to them, the American ‘Borga (Shaibu Mohammed Baba) recently registered to become a member of the NDC. Again, Baba is not even a registered voter in Ghana so he doesn’t qualify for the Chairmanship position.
The Bono East Concerned NDC Members say some executives in the party led by Abdul-Hamid Zakaria aka Bin Laden (Techiman South NDC Election Director) are using dubious means to let the American ‘Borga’ becomes the party’s chairman which they think can damage the party’s peace and election processes.
As per them, the detractors have held a series of meetings. The last meeting which was held by Abdul-Hamid Zakaria aka BinLaden (Techiman South election director), Lampo (regional vice chairman), Richard Combat and Bonzi (former MP Kintampo North) together with the American Borga, on Sunday, 2nd October 2022, in Nkoranza was aimed at imposing Shaibu Mohammed Baba on them.
However, they will not sit aloof for a foreigner and unqualified candidate to contest the incumbent Regional Chairman, Unas Owusu.
The Bono East Concerned NDC Members are therefore calling on the top hierarchy of the party to intervene.
