Angry NPP supporters including some delegates are threatening to boycott the upcoming Parliamentary primary if the decision to disqualify Meisunah Sualihu, their preferred candidate is not reversed.
They also vowed to vandalize NPP property in the constituency in protest against any attempt to conduct the Parliamentary primary without allowing Meisunah Sualihu to contest.
Expressing their displeasure to Citi News, Fuseini Nurideen, spokesperson of the protestors, accused both the NPP regional and national executives of trying to twist the Gambaga/Nalerigu primary in favour of their preferred candidate, one Mohammed Sampah. The former MP for the area, Hajia Alima Mahama has specifically been accused of helping to mastermind the move.
He expressed the delegates and party supporters’ disappointment in the party leadership’s attempt to impose a Parliamentary candidate on them.
Fuseini Nurideen challenged the NPP leadership to deepen democracy in the party by allowing all the three potential aspirants to flex their muscles at the upcoming primary.
He disclosed their intention to hold a news conference which would be followed by a street protest as a means of telling the whole world their full story. Attempts to reach Dr. Clifford Braimah, the NPP northern regional Secretary proved futile.
