The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is targeting the Kumbungu Parliamentary seat in the Northern Region.
\nThe Convention Peoples Party (CPP) incumbent Member of Parliament, Amadu Moses Yahaya went to Parliament through a bi-election in 2012.<\/p>\n

The NPP\u2019s Parliamentary candidate there, Iddrisu Muqtar Dems says he is in the 2016 Parliamentary race as a game changer.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”ip16baICBQ1Dx4qr4VhM1YxrsuGmoXX2″]He told Citi News<\/strong> the governing NDC\u2019s Parliamentary candidate, Ras Mubarak<\/strong><\/a><\/span> is unpopular in the constituency, hence his optimism to win the seat.<\/p>\n

As a social development specialist and a teacher, Iddrisu Muqtar Dems urged the electorate there to reject votes buying politicians.<\/p>\n

He however pinpointed lack of resources as one of the factors affecting his campaign activities.<\/p>\n

Iddrisu Muqtar Dems took a swipe at the Mahama led NDC administration for neglecting the Kumbungu constituency.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Kumbungu district which was carved out of the Tolon\/Kumbungu district is lacking infrastructural development.<\/p>\n

He mentioned bad road network, inadequate classroom blocks and a district assembly complex among others to buttress his point.<\/p>\n

The NDC has since 1992 enjoyed electoral monopoly over the Kumbungu seat.<\/p>\n

The NPP with 10 out of 31 constituencies in the Northern Region targets the Kumbungu seat at the 2016 polls.<\/p>\n
