Benito Owusu Bio |
Youth of Atwima Nwabiagya North has described it as unconstitutional, attempts by the constituency executives to allow Member of Parliament for the constituency, Hon Benito Owusu Bio to go unopposed in the party’s approaching parliamentary primaries.
The constituency executives in a series of meetings with the polling station executives concluded that nobody will be allowed to contest the sitting MP, a decision most of the polling station executives are not happy with.
On Wednesday 8th January, 2020, the constituency executives will meet the Regional executives and as part of the agenda will send an endorsement forms to all the polling station executives to sign as they only need 40% and above for the MP.
Youths in Atwima Nwabiagya North who loves the party believes this is totally against the party’s constitution and must be condemned.
According to the youth, they will resist any attempt by the Regional or Constituency executives to force them to sign and endorse Hon Benito Owusu Bio because he is not the only competent person in the party.
While some polling executives are seeking for better and further explanation from the constituency executives, others too want to sign without any enquiry for cash.
Ahead of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary primaries, the party has issued a directive to all prospective MP aspirants to stop campaigning.
The party said parliamentary aspirants can only canvass for votes at a time the party approves, but until then, all campaigns in that regard should cease.
The General Secretary John Boadu in a statement on Monday, November 12, 2018 said the "caution has become necessary following complaints the party has been receiving about the conduct of some prospective parliamentary aspirants who are overtly and covertly campaigning to delegates ahead of the opening of nominations."
The statement added: "The conduct of these persons does not only flout the party’s internal regulations but also undermines the very structures of the party, particularly at the constituency levels and regional levels."
It noted that parliamentary aspirant who fails to abide by the rules of engagement will be disqualified.
The leadership of the party must act quickly in this constituency to avoid possible dangers that might occur.
