The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, has urged residents of the Afram Plains North and South Constituencies to avoid voting \u201cSkirt and Blouse\u201d in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

The term refers to the practice of voting for a presidential candidate from one party and a parliamentary candidate from another.<\/p>\n

Mahama\u2019s appeal comes as the incumbent Member of Parliament for Afram Plains North, Betty Mensah Krosby, faces a tough challenge from Kpeli Worlase, a former NDC member running as an independent candidate.<\/p>\n

Worlase has openly declared support for Mahama\u2019s presidential bid while opposing the party\u2019s parliamentary candidate.<\/p>\n

Speaking to chiefs, clergy, and residents at the Sakora Park in Donkorkrom on November 21, Mahama emphasized the importance of party unity and loyalty.<\/p>\n

He urged voters to support Betty Mensah Krosby, describing her as the only parliamentary candidate officially endorsed by the NDC.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want any \u2018Skirt and Blouse\u2019 voting, I have not endorsed any parliamentary candidate to represent the party. We have only one parliamentary candidate, so nobody should vote for \u2018Skirt and Blouse\u2019. We need lots of MPs to help in the execution of projects in Afram Plains. The only MP I have endorsed is Betty Mensah Krosby.\u201d<\/p>\n
