Some supporters of a disqualified aspirant in the Asawase constituency primaries of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC)\u00a0in the\u00a0Asawase Constituency have besieged the party\u2019s office in the Ashanti region.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The group which calls itself \u2018Fire for Fire\u2019 on Thursday, 5 September 2019, locked up the party\u2019s Ashanti regional office over the disqualification of MP-aspirant Masawudu Mubarick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr Mubarick who was the only contender of the Former Sports Minister has been barred from contesting the party\u2019s parliamentary election in the Asawase Constituency by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n

The party explained that Mr Mabarick was disqualified based on the recommendations of the Doe Adjaho-led Committee for Settlement of Outstanding Disputes, which was tasked to deal with all disputes and petitions pertaining to the internal polls \u2013 one of those being a petition filed by Mr Mubarick after the party refused to sell him nomination forms on the basis that he did not qualify to run on the ticket of the NDC.<\/p>\n

Dissatisfied with the outcome of the findings by the Adjaho Committee on their petition, supporters of Masawudu marched to the Regional Office in Kumasi to protest the decision.<\/p>\n

They have set tyres on fire at the office premises to register their displeasure.<\/p>\n

They told reporters that they will not allow FEC to subvert the will of the people of the party in the Asawase constituency.<\/p>\n

The group of well-built men burned car tyres at the party\u2019s office and ordered occupants of the office to leave, after brandishing their party ID cards before locking up the office.<\/p>\n

The group said the party\u2019s office will remain locked until the disqualified candidate is allowed to contest against the incumbent MP for the area.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, personnel from the Ghana Police Service led by Deputy Regional Police Commander, ACP Agyeman Adjem, have been deployed to the office to maintain peace and order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
