Some market women in the Ketu South Municipality have demonstrated against the disqualification of some aspirants in the upcoming parliamentary primaries of the National Democratic Congress(NDC).
Friday’s demonstration, the second in a week, saw the market women throng the principal streets in the municipality to express their displeasure.
[contextly_sidebar id=”awf9TXi3Lm5v7v08uE0BRgu5uscsxaA9″]The market women believe the disqualification of Jim Morti and Albert Zigah is a deliberate attempt by party executives to impose the incumbent Member of Parliament, Fifi Fiavi Kwertey on them.
They further accused the incumbent MP and his cohorts of seeking to disarm his main contender, Jim Morti.
“We understand that they disqualified two people. They said the first person went independent; that it is well known to us. But the reason for disqualifying Jim Yao Morti is not known to us. It seems like there is something going on or somebody is pushing them to do this. But if the NDC is not careful, they would lose this seat in 2016” Sefakor Mensah, one of the protestors said.
The women were clad in red and black attire holding placards with inscriptions; “Do not impose incompetent Fifi Kwertey on us,” “no elimination by rough tactics” among others.
They insist they will organize series of protests until the leadership of the NDC party rescinds its decision and include Jim Morti in the race.
The parliamentary primaries is scheduled to take place on November 7 in all constituencies across the country.
