The Electoral Commission’s (EC) resolve to bar political parties without offices nationwide from participating in elections, could affect the Progressive Peoples Party (PPP), which has no office in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0\u00a0group calling itself the Northern Regional Constituency Executives Caucus of the party in the region has expressed\u00a0worry about the situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”zG08gB0wJjrBCWRYbn2n5QG5UjaJgH82″]The group’s Secretary, Abraham Ackah, in a Citi News<\/strong> interview lamented the PPP was not visible in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very sad to know that the third largest political party and the second largest opposition party in the country, the Northern Regional branch has no regional office.\u00a0Surprisingly, whenever national executives visit the party at the regional level, they are normally hosted in hotels at an extra cost to the party.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abraham Ackah emphasized that\u201cIt is evident that among Ghana\u2019s political parties, Progressive Peoples Party is the party which has quality mission and vision for Ghanaians but the party itself in the Northern Region lacks the needed quality performance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the centre of performance by the constituency executives, is the issue of inadequate executive motivation, low participation and poor conditions of the organization which hinder our executives from delivering quality message to the youth across the region,\u201d he lamented.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abraham Ackah, who fell short of mentioning name, claimed\u00a0that one of the PPP\u2019s Northern Regional Executives has hijacked the party and is operating it as his private property.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe party seems to have been hijacked by a single executive member. The decisions of this autocratic individual become binding on all other executives and this is because the national executives including the founder and flagbearer believes in him so much that anything anyone else says is referred to this same autocratic executive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abraham Ackah complained about the misuse of party property for selfish gains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe party\u2019s Nissan pickup truck which was bought purposely for party activities is used for social activities such as naming ceremonies, marriage and funerals,\u00a0\u00a0and this is because there is no party office where it can be parked for it’s usage to be controlled.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He admonished the PPP\u2019s founder, Dr. Paa Kwesi Ndoum to pay attention to the Northern Region. <\/span><\/p>\n

The PPP was formed by entrepreneur cum politician, Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, ahead of elections in 2012, after he broke away from the Convention Peoples Party (CPP).<\/span><\/p>\n
