Incumbent New Patriotic Party (NPP), Member of Parliament for the Tema West Constituency, Irene Naa Torshie Addo says she will appeal a decision by the party\u2019s National Steering Committee, which overturned the disqualification of Carlos Ahenkora, an aspiring parliamentary candidate for the area.<\/p>\n
She contends that the Steering Committee does not have the power to revoke Vetting Committee\u2019s decision adding that \u201cI don\u2019t think the steering committee has the locus to do that. They can\u2019t just get up and say that these people should contest. I think they have to be fair to the vetting committee.\u201d<\/p>\n
