According to her, this approach alienated key stakeholders and contributed significantly to the party\u2019s defeat.<\/p>\n<p>These allegations have sparked calls for investigations within the party, with many questioning the transparency and fairness of the processes leading up to the elections.<\/p>\n<p>Mavis Opokua Akunnor, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Asuogyaman, has also leveled accusations against the constituency secretary, Okomfo Addo, alleging embezzlement of campaign funds meant for the \u201cways and means\u201d activities of Pius Enam Hadzide and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia\u2019s campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The furious DCE made this assertion when she clashed with some constituency executives after Pius Hadzide\u2019s defeat in the December 7 elections.<\/p>\n<p>The DCE alleged that Okomfo Addo misappropriated GH\u20b5450, 000 allocated for campaign activities, claiming he delayed the disbursement of the funds to voters while demanding additional amounts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou were given GH\u20b54.5 billion(old cedis) at 8 a.m., but you held onto it for hours at Green Hotel, insisting the balance be paid before sharing it,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Mavis Akunnor accused Okomfo Addo of withdrawing funds from the constituency account and misapplying them, as well as squandering money allocated for Dr. Bawumia\u2019s campaign.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn election day, at a critical time, you were spotted drinking at a bar near Goil instead of mobilizing for the party,\u201d she charged.<\/p>\n<p>Party insiders believe this development could deepen divisions within the Asuogyaman constituency, making reconciliation efforts more challenging.<\/p>\n<p>Many have called for swift interventions from the regional and national leadership to restore unity and rebuild trust within the constituency.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The incumbent NDC Member of Parliament Thomas Ampem Nyarko polled 26,085 representing 55.06% defeating Pius Enam Hadzide, the NPP parliamentary candidate who secured 21290 representing 44.94%.
