Before I became the NDC Constituency Chairman, Sam George led a team to conduct elections in 89 out of the 93 branches,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he narrated.<\/p>\n<p>He recounted again that the Constituency Executive Committee set up three branches out of the four outstanding branches in Ningo-Prampram Constituency; thus, the National Chairman, the Regional Chairman and the National Director of elections approved the three branches to take part in the Presidential Primaries while Sam George did not want the three branches to take part in the Presidential Primaries.<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that the National Executives, however, issued a statement to use the same Electoral College which was used to conduct the Presidential Primaries in the Parliamentary Primaries, but asserted that the NDC Chief Scribe Asiedu Nketia reversed that decision two days to the Parliamentary Primaries.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIt was the National Executives which issued a statement that the Electoral College that participated and voted in the Presidential Primaries must be maintained to participate and vote in the Parliamentary Primaries, but then two days to Parliamentary Primaries, the General Secretary issued a statement that he has dropped those three branches. This is not the first time that the General Secretary, Asiedu Nketia has done something against my chance of winning the Parliamentary Candidature for the NDC in Ningo-Prampram. In 2015, when we were going for Parliamentary Primaries, I filed my nomination to contest Sam George and E.T Mensah and when we went for vetting, the General Secretary said that there is a petition against me and so he will set up a committee to investigate the matter . . .\u00a0 till today in 2019, no committee has called me,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he asserted.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He, however, wondered why the three branches which he helped to set up in accordance with the directive of the Regional Executives has become an issue simply because they are in his stronghold while nobody found anything wrong with the 89 branches which were set up by Sam George.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c . . Sam George set up 89 branches and I never said anything against them but then only 3 branches that I and my executives have done, the General Secretary has taken them out, I give that matter to God. So, we are done with the elections. I don\u2019t have any hatred in me for saying that I give the matter to God. It is the NDC party that I love and willing to work for but with the happenings in the party against me, it is not good,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he bemoaned.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0is therefore willing\u00a0to meet Johnson Asiedu Nketia to ask for forgiveness if he had wronged him in any way as some of his decisions\u00a0always go\u00a0against him in Ningo-Prampram.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI have decided to meet with the General Secretary . . .\u00a0 I will make sure that I see him personally to ask him to forgive me if I have wronged him in any way that I don\u2019t know of, because anytime I stand for election, some of his decisions he takes, go against me,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he disclosed. <\/p>\n<p><strong>-Peacefmonline.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Tetteh Kwetey Defeated Parliamentary Aspirant in the Ningo-Prampram Constituency on the ticket of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Michael Tetteh Kwetey has accused his party General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, of causing his defeat in the just ended Parliamentary Primaries.
