Some members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nkwanta South constituency of the Oti Region on Friday locked up the party office over an alleged misappropriation of area coordinators’ election forms.
The group is demanding for fresh nomination, claiming that some of the names found in the list were not party members, adding that they will not allow any election process to take place.
According to the aggrieved supporters, it is against the background that some leading party executives are said to have sidelined the old and new members who applied for the position to enable them find their names in the election process.
The group is therefore calling on the national executives to intervene as the party aims at staying in power after the 2024 polls.
The leader of the group Dunyo Reagan told Asaase News, they have given the executives up to Monday to resolve the issues else they will place an injunction on the process.
The Oti regional chairman of the New patriotic party, Evans Yaw Dapaa, said the issue is being handled at the constituency level.
He advised NPP supporters to remain calm as the executives look into their demands.
“Looking at the zeal and enthusiasm in which the youth are conducting this exercise shows clearly that, they are ready to help the party to continue in government and I think this is the best way to show our love for the New Patriotic Party to break the eight and continue into government to continue the good works for the good people of the country,” Dapaa sad.
