\n

There is uneasy calm in the Kwesimintsim branch of the New
\nPatriotic Party (NPP) in the Western Region.<\/p>\n

Some of the members of the party in the area are complaining about
\nperceived disunity among the constituency executives which could lead to the
\ndefeat of the parliamentary candidates.<\/p>\n

Speaking to DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, Reindolf Sarkodie, Chairman
\nof the Pentecost Preparatory Polling Station \u201cB\u201d at Asakae in the
\nconstituency, bemoaned what he termed as \u2018some unacceptable happenings\u2019 in the
\nparty at the constituency.<\/p>\n

He asserted that the party\u2019s chairman had sidelined the party\u2019s
\nconstituency secretary in all the activities of the party in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was after the secretary shared his views on perceived
\nconsistent selfish attitude\u00a0of the Chairman and some selected few in the
\nexecutive body,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n

Mr Sarkodie, who is also the Secretary to the \u2018Concerned Polling
\nStation Executives\u2019 in the constituency, alleged that the deputy constituency
\nSecretary had been asked to takeover despite the presence of the substantive
\nsecretary of the constituency.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that for about eight months, the Constituency\u2019s first
\nVice Chairman had also been sidelined after sharing his view on the issue and
\ntagged a non-supporter of the sitting Member of Parliament, Joseph Mensah.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NASARA Coordinator and his deputy are equally facing the same
\npunishment as we speak for no tangible reason. In any case should the
\nconstituency executives work for the MP or the entire NPP membership of the constituency\u201d?
\nHe quizzed.<\/p>\n

According to him, competent party people were ignored for people
\nwho were rejected during the Polling Station elections in their respective
\npolling stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cA typical example is the Constituency Research Officer, who also
\ndoubles as the wife of the Constituency Organizer one Mrs Akoto.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was rewarded such sensitive position because of her husband\u2019s
\nparochial interest, knowing well that the said position would be very
\nchallenging for his wife. This raises serious conflict of interest
\nissues\u201d, he asserted.<\/p>\n

Mr Sarkodie told DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> that a 47-year-old man has
\nbeen appointed as the\u00a0 constituency Deputy Youth Organizer when the
\nparty\u2019s constitution stipulates that persons above 40 years cannot hold such
\npositions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe divide and rule tactics in the party has led to the
\nsplitting of the members at the grassroots levels everywhere in the
\nConstituency\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given the constituency Chairman Kingsley Samuel Kwaw
\na week\u2019s ultimatum to try and resolve the issues or else the polling station
\nexecutives would advise themselves,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

Constituency Chairman Reacts\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reacting the assertions in an interview with DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, Samuel
\nKingsley Kwaw, Kwesimintsim NPP Constituency Chairman denied all the allegations.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cThe polling station chairman for Pentecost
\nPreparatory\u201d B\u201d at Asakae rather wants to bring someone to contest
\nthe sitting MP, hence his lamentations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not opened nominations but the polling station chairman has indicated his intentions to bring a candidate. We\u2019ll not prevent anyone from contesting but the processes have not began,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n
