Some of the protesters<\/strong><\/p>\n

HUNDREDS of supporters of the opposition National
\nDemocratic Congress (NDC) in the Suame Constituency yesterday held a protest
\nagainst the exclusion of a parliamentary candidate aspirant, Emmanuel Boahen
\nfrom the party\u2019s primary election.<\/p>\n

The aspirant was declared unfit to run for the
\nNDC parliamentary slot by the party\u2019s vetting committee headed by Mr Alban
\nKingsford Sumani Bagbin because he is not a member in good standing in the
\nconstituency.<\/p>\n

This has paved way for Francis Dodovi to run
\nunopposed in the upcoming internal election.<\/p>\n

But exclusion of Emmanuel Boahen has sparked a
\nrare outcry with many of the constituency and branch executives, questioning
\nthe grounds of his disqualification and accusing regional executives of unfair
\ntreatment.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning protesters gathered in front of
\nthe party\u2019s constituency office after authorities disqualified their favourite
\ncandidate from standing in the primaries, citing conspiracy scheme against
\nEmmanuel Boahen.<\/p>\n

The party\u2019s branch chairman for the Osei Kwadwo-B
\nElectoral Area at Breman, Isaac Peprah, said they would keep demanding the
\nregional executive to respect their rights to make a choice between Francis
\nDodovi and Emmanuel Boahen, whom he personally registered at the branch.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has a party card and pays his dues
\naccordingly. I wonder why they are saying he is not eligible to stand for
\nparliamentary candidate. He is a voter in this constituency. They can\u2019t
\ndisqualify him because of someone\u2019s interest,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He wants the national executives of the party to
\nintervene or they would advise themselves.<\/p>\n

The protesters also petitioned the constituency
\nchairman,\u00a0Seeba Mohammed and called on him to forward it to the top
\nechelon of the NDC for swift action on the issue. <\/p>\n
