One of Ghana\u2019s longest serving Members of Parliament, E.T Mensah has dismissed reports that he has decided not to contest in the upcoming National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”RZ00IBGDzT3QYPQzbVaZLC4oXCssBPiA”]E.T Mensah who is the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo Prampram Constituency, said he has not told anyone that he is not contesting.<\/p>\n
This is in response to rumors that the parliamentary veteran will not be contesting in the primaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am contesting the Ningo Prampram seat. I have not spoken anywhere, I have not said that to anybody,\u201d he told Richard Sky on Eyewitness News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n He also said that if he were to hand over, he would hand over one of the people who have worked with him for a long time.<\/p>\n \u201cThe rumor is that I told a couple of guys that I would hand over to them. If I am going to hand over to anybody it would be to one of us who have been in the trenches all this while; not to one of the new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n E.T Mensah added that he is not tired yet and if anyone wants to contest the seat they should focus on doing so.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t lie in anybody\u2019s mouth to say I am tired. In other jurisdictions people stay in parliament for over thirty years. If anybody wants to contest they have the right to do so. Since I started going to parliament it was just once that I went unopposed.<\/p>\n E.T Mensah has been MP\u00a0for Ningo Prampram since 1996 on the ticket of NDC.<\/p>\n
