I felt that no, that is not fair. Sometimes they should treat people fairly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you say you are going to rerun, give everybody a fair chance, and if the person loses fairly, he will understand. Why should you open the nomination and just take my money, just keep my GH\u00a245,000, which is no small money so I have decided that if the people want me, I will go independent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>#GhanaPolls2024<br \/>#ElectionBureau<br \/>#CitiVerify<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU: https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Member of Parliament for Amenfi Central, Peter Yaw Kwakye-Ackah, has expressed indifference toward the petition filed by the Minority caucus seeking to declare his seat vacant.
