Confusion, likely to degenerate into a legal tussle is brewing over the forthcoming congress to elect officers for the Ablekuma Central Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Many party faithfuls in the constituency have expressed their disapproval of the behaviour of “a few members, contrary to the NPP constitution.” A ward chairman, who wants to remain anonymous, told the GNA that a handful of NPP supporters met on 2 November 2002 and passed a vote of no confidence in the executives.
He further revealed that the said a resolution passed by “the few members” was also calling on the Regional Chairman to dissolve the executives and set up an interim management committee before the congress.
When contacted, Amua Awuah, the constituency chairman who confirmed the story, said he was surprised by the threat by some supporters because, “I strongly favoured the congress since the NPP would be seen as a true democratic party.”
He said, “I cherish democracy and those who aspire to become party executives should file their nomination to contest the election instead of organising people to create confusion.”
Awuah called on the youth who were getting discouraged by the unconstitutional approach by “the few people” in the constituency to stand firm pending the congress next week.
