The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary nominee for the Tema West constituency, Carlos Ahenkorah has said he is shocked the moves of some party members to ruin his Parliamentary prospects.<\/p>\n

Some disgruntled party members have filed a suit at the High Court questioning why Carlos Ahenkorah possesses three different passports.<\/p>\n

The applicants want the court to declare him unfit to run for the position of a Member of Parliament.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”Y1ERwlKswEyVy5FCCFbZwdL8leecICdT”]But speaking to Citi News<\/strong> Carlos Ahenkorah who described the issue as misplaced says the courts will vindicate him.<\/p>\n

He explained that the BNI came for his passport around \u201cMarch last year and kept it for two months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter investigating they later called and released it to me and apologized, little did I know that somebody was going resuscitate this issue,\u201d Ahenkorah added.<\/p>\n

The parliamentary nominee asked \u201cGhanaians to treat this matter with the contempt that it deserves\u201d and called on party members to continue with campaigning for the good of the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet no one take the law into their own hands. It is my fight, I would like to fight it alone, let them go ahead and do their campaigning, that is more important to me and Nana Addo. The party wants us to win power; we will not allow anybody to ruin that process. If anybody is trying to bring me back, let them bring me alone back and let the rest march forward,\u201d Ahenkorah added.<\/p>\n

Carlos Ahenkorah is reportedly being investigated by\u00a0the BNI and the Immigration service for traveling with two different passports within a space of one week.<\/p>\n

Carlos at loggerheads with Naa Torshie<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carlos Ahenkorah faced fierce opposition from the NPP incumbent MP for the area, Irene Naa Torshie Addo during the parties primary.<\/p>\n

However, Ahenkorah emerged winner polling\u00a0503 votes, while Naa Torshie Addo had 273.<\/p>\n

The two are said to have been at loggerheads since then.<\/p>\n
