The chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region, Mawutor Agbavitor, has said no parliamentary candidate aspirant will be disqualified ahead of the main contest in May.
He explained that all the 75 aspirants will be given the opportunity to contest in the 13 May parliamentary primaries in the region.
“We’ve decided not to disqualify anyone and it is a deliberate decision,” Agbavitor told the media on Wednesday (5 April). “We need to be united in order to regain power so we don’t want to create division among them [the aspirants].”
The chairman said the NDC will join forces to reclaim the only New Patriotic Party (NPP) seat in the Volta Region – Hohoe Constituency.
Six aspirants are contesting the seat in Hohoe.
Agbavitor urged all aspirants to conduct their political campaigns devoid of insults. He said after the primaries, both winners and losers should come together to lead the party to victory in 2024.
