Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mr Ebenezer Quayson, a disqualified National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary aspirant of Upper Denkyira West Constituency has accused the Central Regional interim vetting committee of being biased.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said his disqualification came after he refused a request from the committee to step down to enable the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Daniel Ohene Darko to go unopposed.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Richard Aseidu, the Regional Chairman said he will refund my filling fee to stop me from contesting the position but after disagreeing, he told me they will disqualify me.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the committee voted 5:1 against me after the chairman declared that and this is unfair\u201d, he lamented.<\/p>\n

Briefing the media after his disqualification at the Regional Office of the party, he said the delegates were against the incumbent MP for non-performance thus their support fir him to unseat Mr Darko to enable them retain the seat for the NDC.<\/p>\n

According to him the actions of the vetting committee would cause chaos and division among the delegates and the party as they were all in favour of him to save the seat for the party.<\/p>\n

The Upper Denkyira West seat was one of the strongholds of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and any mistake to present the incumbent MP would empower the ruling party regain the seat, he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Quayson cautioned the party executives to reconsider their decision to disqualify him, to restore hope in the delegates to work towards retaining the seat in 2024.<\/p>\n

Some aggrieved supporters of the disqualified aspirant raised concerns that such unfair treatments were causing division among the delegates.<\/p>\n

They advised the leadership to come down to the grassroots to prioritize their concerns to help them make informed decisions for the betterment of the party.<\/p>\n

Mr Quayson was the only one disqualified out of the Group \u2018A\u2019 aspirants numbering 28 for 11 constituencies.<\/p>\n

The constituencies vetted are: Mfantseman, Cape Coast North and South, Assin Central and South, Upper Denkyira West and East, Twifo-Atti-Morkwa, Ajumako-Enyan-Essian (AEE), Hemang Lower Denkyira, and Awutu Senya West.<\/p>\n

Twenty-eight parliamentary aspirants of the nine constituencies which formed Group \u2018B\u2019 faced the vetting committee on Tuesday to enable them contest the upcoming primaries slated for May 2023.<\/p>\n

The constituencies are Awutu Senya East, Ekumfi, Agona East, Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa (AOB), Gomoa West, Agona West, Gomoa East, Gomoa Central and Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA).<\/p>\n

Three constituencies have been withheld for reasons yet to be given. They are Assin North, Effutu and Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese (AAK) .<\/p>\n
