A group of concerned members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Asene-Akroso-Manso Constituency in the Eastern Region are not happy with what is going on in the constituency regarding picking of nomination forms by interested members to contest positions in the party.

The group alleged that some aspirants believed to be associated with former Member of Parliament, Hon. Owusu Boateng who later contested as an Independent candidate in the 2020 election, had been prevented from contesting after submitting their forms.

This worrying situation compelled the concerned group to submit a petition duly signed by 12 of its members to the chairman of the Election Committee in the Asene-Akroso-Manso Constituency to urgently rectify the anomalies of the electoral processes for sanity to prevail.

Part of the petition read:, “We humbly write to appeal to your good office to rectify some anomalies in the electoral process at Asene and Manso before the commencement of the election in the above mentioned towns.

“That in Akim-Manso, forms duly bought for the old executives by Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia were not given to them, instead they were given to new aspirants.

“That as NPP faithful we cannot sit down unconcerned to lose as many as 6,000 people that the so-called independent candidate, Hon. Yaw Owusu Boateng had in the 2020 elections.

“We believe this is purely discrimination and injustice since nobody can determine who voted for whom in the general election.

“And we believe this discrimination and injustice only happened in Asene-Akroso-Manso constituency since all other constituencies in Ghana absolved all followers of independent candidates”.

The petitioners are; Messrs Amos Kwadwo Acheampong, Seth Okyere Boakye, Stephen Effah, Amoah Gyimah Theophilus Appiah, Prince Owusu Boamah, Peter Baah, Sekyere Boateng, Samuel Afeke, Bismark Kwakye Akyerefi, Kofi Danso, Prince Amoah and Stephen Danso.
