Citi News<\/strong>, a polling station\u00a0Chairman in the\u00a0constituency, Jones Atuahene, said the move was based on the National Executive Committee\u2019s (NEC) decision to allow two different registers for the primary.<\/p>\nHe also accused the NEC of disrespecting the constituency\u2019s executives and running the elections to favour the incumbent MP, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.<\/p>\n
According to him, four hundred delegates also boycotted the elections.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026Headquarters never respected the polling station executives, headquarters never respected the constituency executives. The Constituency has\u00a0not gotten any official letter from regional or national that there is going to be an election. How can they say they are going to amend things after the election? This time around we will make sure they pay dearly for what they have done.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr. Atuahene added that the party\u2019s internal wrangling in the consistency was going to deny them victory in November if not checked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they really want to come to power we need external votes in addition to our votes.\u00a0How can we get the 50 plus one percent of there is infighting.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ursula wins primary<\/strong><\/p>\nMeanwhile the incumbent MP, Madam Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has beaten her closest contender Roni Nicol, to emerge winner in today\u2019s [Saturday] primary.<\/p>\n
Out of the about 1,400 registered voters, only 876 cast their ballot.<\/p>\n
Ursula-Owusu polled 554 votes, whiles Roni Nicol garnered 317. There were five rejected ballots.<\/p>\n
The third contender, one Theophilus Tetteh pulled out of the race at the last hour following concerns over the voters’ register and has vowed to contest as an independent candidate in November.<\/p>\n
