Over 100\u00a0branch executives members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Chiana-Paga constituency \u00a0of the Upper East Region, have appealed to President John Mahama and the leadership of the NDC, to as a matter of urgency fix a date for their parliamentary primary.<\/p>\n
The primary in the Chiana-Paga Constituency was postponed last year, creating tension in the area.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”tNi19FehxfgZHq3LhtskImrCt1DJayhe”]The constituency executives have warned that any further delays could lead to a possible clash between supporters of the incumbent Member of Parliament Abuga Pele and his contenders.<\/p>\n
Mr.\u00a0Abuga Pele, the incumbent MP, is currently standing trial for allegedly causing financial loss to the state, hence the call by some youth for him to be replaced although that is unconstitutional since he remains a legitimate MP, and cannot be replaced until found guilty by the court.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile\u00a0NDC constituency executives in the area, have rubbished the calls being made by the youth, saying they are doing the bidding of one the aspirants, Rudolf Amenga-Etego.<\/p>\n
In a press statement they said, “We categorically wish to refute the allegation in the petition addressed by the so called concerned youth of the constituency by emphasizing that the content of the petition is as misleading as it is false. And the authors of the petition do not represent any concerned youth of the constituency but are just doing the biding of one the aspirants Rudolf Amenga-Etego.”<\/p>\n
Their statement also calls for back ground checks to be done on the\u00a0Rudolf Amenga-Etego who the allege has had some shady dealings with\u00a0ISODEC Ghana and an NGO called The Grass Root Africa.<\/p>\n
