NDC members kick against alleged imposition of MCE for Asokore Mampong

Aggrieved members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Asawasi Constituency in the Ashanti region have objected to the President’s nomination of one Ben Abdallah as the Municipal Chief Executive for Asokore Mampong.

Suleiman Bin Masud, Member of the Constituency Communication Team at a press conference, a day after the names of the nominee popped-up, stressed that the Branch Executives and grassroots of the party in the Constituency do not know Ben Abdalla.

According to him, the nominee is not their choice and cautioned the appointing authorities and the leadership of the party against bringing more division into the party in the Constituency.

He stressed that the grassroots would not accept the nominee alleging that constituency Chairman, Faisal Dauda, was denied the opportunity because he opposed the Alhaji Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak, the Member of Parliament during the party’s primary hence the imposition of Ben Abdalla, the MPs choice.

According to him, the imposition of Ben Abdalla demonstrates that leadership did not reward loyalty to the party, but loyalty to an individual.

He indicated that it was Chairman Failsal’s tenure that Asawasi NDC got a huge margin in the general elections as a result of his dedication, loyalty and commitment.

He reiterated that failure to reverse the nomination of Abdalla would attract unending protests within the party in the Constituency, because the grassroots would not rest until the party leadership did the needful.

He called on all sympathisers of the party to join the crusade to ensure that the Constituency Chairman is nominated for the position of the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Asokore Mampong for his meritorious service to the party.

The communication team member expressed worry over how those within the NDC in the Constituency who did not support the MP during the primary are considered enemies.
