The Brong-Ahafo Regional Secretariat of the National Democratic Party (NDP) at the weekend said it believed the Electoral Commission’s (EC) rejection of Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings nomination form was a calculated attempt by certain individuals who had compromised with the EC to collapse the party.
It has however expressed doubts about the integrity of the EC in all the electoral processes to ensure free, fair and transparent election 2012.
The EC on Thursday, October 19, rejected the nomination of Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings, a former First Lady and flag bearer of the NDP citing major errors on her forms.
At a press conference in Sunyani, Nana Obiri Pantanpram, NDP Brong-Ahafo Regional Chairman of the party clad in a mourning cloth emphasised that the “Regional Secretariat was solidly behind Nana Konadu in any decision she might take to seek justice”.
He attested that the NDP was formed out of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and since then the NDC had adopted series of strategies to divide and “bury” the NDP.
Nana Pantanpram explained that it was not the first time an error had appeared on a flag bearer’s nomination form therefore, the EC should have informed Nana Konadu of such errors than rejecting the forms.
He regretted that the EC had dented its credibility saying it was unfortunate and disgraceful on its part to allow some politicians to dent its national and international reputation.
Nana Pantanpram emphasised that the NDP had come to stay and would endeavour to participate and win the December 7 polls.
