The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) branch in the Asante Akyem South constituency of the Ashanti Region has handed over forty polling station executives indefinite suspensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The executives were suspended for supporting the parliamentary bid of one, William Yamoah a former President of the National Union of Ghana Students.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The suspended executives have accused their MP, Asante Boateng of instigating the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the suspended executives, Felix Kyei who is a polling station Chairman at Muramura R\/C \u00a0JHS polling station\u00a0said, he believed it was a deliberate ploy by the MP to gag them.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is our MP but has not used his influence to bring any development to this area. In fact, he has not used his portion of the MP\u2019s common fund to bring development to his constituents and I believe he is hundred percent behind our suspension, Mr Kyei claimed.<\/p>\n

Another suspended polling station executive, Nana Ofori Amanfo who until his suspension was the NPP Polling station chairman at Chempo D\/A Primary expressed shock at the decision by the disciplinary Committee of the Asante Akyem South constituency.
\n\u201cMy suspension is uncalled for. I have been accused of supporting some the aspirants including Mr Williams Yamoah and Bice Osei Kuffour, popularly known as Obour. I am even shocked the committee mentioned Mr Yamoah because I don\u2019t know him and cannot even make him out if we walk past each other.\u201d
\n<\/p>\n

The polling station executives have called on the party to rescind the decision.<\/p>\n
