The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Parliamentary candidate for Kunbungu in the Northern Region, Iddrisu Muqtar Dems, has labelled the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate Ras Mubarak as a stranger in the constituency he is contesting in.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Citi FM\u2019s The Campaign Trail<\/strong>, he said Ras Mubarak, who previously contested in the Ablekuma North Constituency in the Greater Accra Region is a first time voter there.<\/p>\n

Brushing aside the challenge from Mr. Mubarak, Mr. Muqtar Dems said,\u00a0“I am surprised he says the NDC has come with somebody who has the political records or whatever. I don\u2019t know where these records he is talking about is coming from.\u201d<\/p>\n

“This man has never contested any election in the constituency. He doesn\u2019t even know the constituency. This is the first time he has come to contests.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Muqtar Dems also touted his experience in the constituency as what would push him over the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cComparing him to myself, I have been contesting parliamentary primaries since 2004 till date. Since then I have been in the constituency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
