The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is targeting the Kumbungu Parliamentary seat in the Northern Region.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Through a bi-election in 2012, the Kumbungu seat is currently occupied by Amadu Moses Yahaya on the ticket of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP).<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”M3NMWdaQEPYnVVb5FhK6vBmo438M4oip”]The NPP\u2019s Parliamentary candidate there says he is in the 2016 Parliamentary race as a game changer.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Iddrisu Muqtar Dems told Citi News the governing NDC\u2019s Ras Mubarak is unpopular in the constituency, hence his assurance to win the seat.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a social development specialist and a teacher, Iddrisu Muqtar Dems urged the electorate there to reject votes buying politicians.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He however pinpointed lack of resources as one of the factors affecting his campaign activities.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Iddrisu Muqtar Dems took a swipe at the Mahama led NDC administration of neglecting the <\/span><\/div>\n
Kumbungu constituency on the transformational agenda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to him, the Kumbungu district which was carved out of the Tolon\/Kumbungu district is lacking infrastructural development.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He mentioned bad road network, inadequate classroom blocks and a district assembly complex among others to buttress his point.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NDC has since 1992 enjoyed electoral monopoly over the Kumbungu seat.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The CPP\u2019s incumbent MP, Hon. Amadu Moses Yahaya won the seat through a bi-election in 2012.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The NPP which can boast of 10 out of 31 constituencies in the Northern Region targets the Kumbungu seat at the 2016 polls.<\/span><\/div>\n
