There is uncertainty over the holding of elections by the National Democratic Congress in the Suame Constituency, as some members are protesting the alleged omission of their names from the voters album.<\/p>\n
This was after some angry members stormed the party\u2019s office on Thursday and vandalised properties to protest the alleged removal of their names.<\/p>\n
The aggrieved members are claiming their names have been removed and replaced with unknown ones as the party prepares to hold elections at the constituency level this weekend.<\/p>\n
The names of members from 21 branches in the constituency are alleged to have been removed and replaced, and the affected party members are worried they could be disenfranchised in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n
The Youth Organizer for the Embassy Hotel Branch in the Suame Constituency, Yakubu Mohammed, said they will resist attempts to keep them from voting.<\/p>\n
