The Greater Accra Regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), \u00a0Ishmael Ashittey is assuring members of the Party in the Krowor Constituency that he would not supervise any elections until issues surrounding the party\u2019s voting album is tackled.<\/p>\n
tories[contextly_sidebar id=”9JIG7DvRnDWYZ50FuiqJhFRG1D14sMtd”]There have been growing tensions within party in the area after the vetting process in the constituency with some supporters calling for the rejection of the results.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Citi News<\/strong> Mr Ashittey justified the vetting but said the primaries would be put on hold until all issues regarding the process are dealt with.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a copy of the directive given by the court, I don\u2019t need anybody to come and explain it to me. I have people who have explained to me what actually the court says. The court did not mention any party activity. The court went on to say that the album that we are using for the election should be scraped and a new album made and then we should proceed with the polling station election and then the constituency executives election and nominations have nothing to do with albums.\u201d<\/p>\n He explained that nominations were opened for potential candidates to pick forms, adding that it was not in contravention with the court\u2019s order.<\/p>\n \u201cNominations were opened and persons who have keen interest to become parliamentary candidate in that particular area… have paid their monies, filed their nominations, we have finished that process\u201d<\/p>\n \u201c\u2026We have done every part of the region and anytime we have an album which is acceptable to the court, we will use it to select the candidate. Most of them who want to contest when the nominations were opened they didn\u2019t take the exercise serious\u2026if they were really interested they shouldn\u2019t be reading into the law and interpret it in their own way, and they should have come to file. We\u2019ve finish with that process and we are not going back there again,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin Akweiteh Allotey\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n
