Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Bolga Central Constituency, Awonekai A. Elvis-Figo, is asking the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to delete his name from its Bolgatanga Central constituency register.
Mr. Elvis-Figo has threatened to sue the NDC should they fail to yield to his demand.
[contextly_sidebar id=”yIWv9yukvPVxGzofW1E1PJojYuUDHfll”]”Let me once again remind you to delete my name from your register and communicate to me or risk legal actions.”
In a letter which he copied the regional executives and the Bolga Central constituency executives of the NDC, Elvis-Figo stated that he had no idea how his name got into the NDC’s register.
“I wish to implore you to delete my name from the Bolgatanga Central constituency register of the NDC. I do not know who, how, and why my name is in your register but I do know that I have never been a sympathizer or member of NDC and I do not ever intend to be one. I therefore wish to humbly ask you to remove my name and other details from your register to avoid court injunction on the Bolgatanga central constituency primaries of your party,” his letter stated.
Before the parliamentary and presidential primaries, the NDC called on its members to report any NPP member whose name they suspect is in the register.
Elvis-Figo said he was informed by some NDC polling station executives of Methodist JHS who saw his details in the party’s membership register.
According to him“Immediately, I called Mr. Edmund Adongo, NDC coordinator for Tanzui-Zorbisi electoral area and he confirmed it. I told him to take the necessary measures to remove my name from the register. Only to see today on 15th November, 2015, that I am still in the register.”
Prior to the elections, some members of the NDC had accused some parliamentary aspirants of registering non-NDC members ostensibly to shore up their votes.
