National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Lower Manya Krobo, Michael Teye Nyaunu and avowed supporter of former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings has rebuffed reports that they had met stiff opposition in the Western Region in their bid to campaign secretly for Mrs Rawlings. The Enquirer newspaper reported in today’s edition that Nana Konadu’s campaign team, comprising Hon Teye Nyaunu, and Kofi Adams, special aide to the Rawlings’ to the Western Region had been met with the red card, as they were told in the face that they (the delegates) would never support Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings. The paper cited the Regional Youth Organiser, Kwabena Mintah Akando, who it said had told the enquirer that Mrs Rawlings’ team had had a very bad encounter with the party executives in the constituencies.

Nana Konadu Agyeman RawlingsThe campaign team of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings has urged its members to stay strong amid intimidation by members from the Mills camp to lure supporters of Nana Konadu to declare support for President Mills.

A statement released by the Campaign team of Nana Konadu, said the desperate campaign of mudslinging and dirty tricks being perpetrated by the Mills campaign team to the extent that some delegates are even lured with ethnic undertones is most unfortunate.

It said the campaign team is documenting all the reports of lies, intimidation and bribery that are being perpetuated by the Mills group.

Below is the full Statement by the Konadu campaign team

The Nana Konadu for President 2012 Presidential Campaign is calling on all party delegates and supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to stay strong and bold in light of the sustained assault on their fundamental right to vote according to the will of their constituents.

The Campaign Team is aware of a series of calculated visits by Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) and other leading government personalities who are applying intimidating tactics towards delegates, calling on them not to vote Nana Konadu with lies and open threats.

The blatant abuse of executive power to induce, intimidate and lure delegates and other party supporters to vote against their conscience in the forthcoming presidential primary is despicable, shameful, cowardly, irresponsible and alien to the NDC. It is embarrassing that in a desperate bid to cling to power, persons within the Mills apparatus are employing such appalling tactics, which our party abhors.

Across the length and breadth of the country the desperate campaign of mudslinging and dirty tricks is being perpetrated by the Mills campaign team to the extent that some delegates are even lured with ethnic undertones.

We are documenting all the reports of lies, intimidation and bribery that are being perpetuated by the Mills group.

The Nana Konadu campaign team has officially written to the General Secretary of the party to apprise him of the dirty campaign going on.

We congratulate all delegates for remaining steadfast and exposing these shameful acts in light of the pressures they are facing. They must remember they represent the voice of millions of party supporters who have lost faith in the way President Mills has run the country since January 2009.

Delegates should continue to stay bold and resolute and work hard to turn the clock of backwardness to one of progress.
Be Bold!
