Adenta NPP aspirant disqualified
…for having dual citizenship, dodgy educational background
The Vetting Committee of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has disqualified Mr. Stephen Dee Larbi, from contesting the Adenta constituency parliamentary primary of the party. Dee Larbi, who was bent on unseating the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Kwadwo Opare-Hammond, was disqualified on grounds of having dual-citizenship, of Ghana and Canada, and for making false pretences. Considering the fact that having dual-citizenship, was against the provisions of anybody seeking public office, and the fact that making false representations to gain a position was a criminal offence under the country’s criminal code, the Committee decided not to allow him to contest on the party’s ticket.
