Hon. Matthew Opoku Prempeh, NPP MP for Manhyia believes though General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, might have been bragging or hallucinating when he claimed at the just ended National Delegates Congress of the ruling NDC that 60% of the people who emerged victorious in the recently held District Assembly elections are favourable to the NDC, he has placed a hangman\u2019s noose around his neck and is likely to be called upon to explain his comments in a court of law.<\/p>\n
His threat stems from what he describes as a breach of the nation\u2019s Constitution which bars political parties from actively participating in district assembly elections.<\/p>\n
The General Secretary is reported to have said that as part of the achievement of the party, 60% of people favorable to the NDC won the district election.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026records show that our performance as a party is evident as the people elected in the assemblies are NDC sympathisers raised from between 85% in the Volta region to 38% in the Ashanti region\u2026It is even more remarkable to note that in Eastern region, our sympathizers won more than 51% of the seats available. Overall, NDC sympathizers scored over 60% countrywide,\u201d Asiedu Nketia also known as General Mosquito said at the Congress grounds in Sunyani.<\/p>\n
Speaking in an interview on Citi Eye Witness News, the Manhyia MP said what the NDCs General Secretary said flies in the face of the country’s constitution.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026this is an apology of a government system we are operating. I don\u2019t know if we are in a Kangaroo form of government or a democratic government. It is sad that under an Associate Professor of Law in the country, the constitution is being subverted. It is a sad day in the history of our country. Article 248 (1 and 2) states that \u201ca party should not sponsor and so how is he going to collect those information if he didn\u2019t sponsor. Article 248:2 also says that \u201ca political party shall not indulge, sponsor, offer a platform or in any way campaign for or against the candidates seeking elections to a district assembly or any local government unit. This is a clear breach of the law…\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
