A representative of Mubarak Masawudu picking the nomination form after payment<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is confusion in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) over plans by Mubarak Masawudu to contest Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak for the Asawase Constituency in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region on the ticket of the party.<\/p>\n

The campaign team of Masawudu is claiming that the some regional executives are scheming to frustrate their candidate so that he would drop out of the contest to allow the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) to go into the 2020 unopposed.<\/p>\n

The team said nomination forms they legitimately bought from the party\u2019s office is being rejected by the party\u2019s executives and the party official who sold the forms is being punished for doing her administrative job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administrative secretary sold the forms to us at the regional office. We paid GH\u00a22000 cash to her. Kwame Zu is still denying that we\u2019ve not picked forms because of their machinations to make Muntaka go unopposed in the primaries. But we the Asawase people would fight the plans to make the MP unopposed. We picked the forms in a legal way and we\u2019ll push it for our candidate to contest,\u201d Shafi Ibrahim, who said he is the Director in charge of Operations for the aspirant, told Kasapa FM in Accra yesterday.<\/p>\n

NDC Reaction<\/strong><\/p>\n

In his reaction, Kwame Zu, Ashanti Regional Secretary of the NDC insisted that the secretariat does not have any records of anybody picking forms apart from Muntaka after the deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe administrative secretary has been relieved of her post immediately. She acted beyond bounds to issue forms to you (Masawudu camp) which is not part of her job description; it\u2019s exclusively my job as the regional secretary to issue out forms and nobody else. As I speak to you, there are no secretarial records of anybody picking forms. If you come to the regional office to pick forms, it should be for a stated reason concerning why they were denied the forms at the constituency level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, the Masawudu camp has hit back saying they have concrete evidence to the effect that their candidate picked and paid for the form on Thursday and no amount of scheming by the executives would change matters.<\/p>\n

According to a member of Masawudu\u2019s campaign team called Usman Nabali, the NDC regional youth organizer and the party\u2019s treasurer, nicknamed as \u2018Power\u2019, were present when they paid for and collected the forms.<\/p>\n

Another member of the team, Adam Mohammed, aka \u2018Ada\u2019 or Field Marshall, who said they are made up of mostly NDC constituency executives at Asawase, said they were filling the forms and that they would submit it on time and contest in the NDC election at Asawase at all costs.<\/p>\n

He stated that despite the frustration by the party executives, Masawudu Mubarak would emerge as winner in the upcoming polls and retain the Asawase seat for the NDC in 2020.<\/p>\n
