Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Dr Senanu Djokoto, a parliamentary aspirant in the upcoming Keta NDC primary, has petitioned the appeals committee in relation to the clearance of Dr Emmanuel Jones Mensah, another aspirant, to contest.<\/b><\/p>\n

Dr Djokoto said he considered it an error by the vetting committee that Dr Jones Mensah had met the mandatory requirements of Regulation 2.1(III) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Guidelines for clearing parliamentary candidates for the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n

The guidelines provide that a person desirous of contesting the position of parliamentary candidate \u201cshall be an active member of the party in the constituency for not less than four years… pending the date of filing their nominations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Djokoto, in his petition sighted by press, said he found the committee\u2019s decision to accept a letter from Dr Mensah dissociating himself from a fraudulent registration conduct at Ashiaman untenable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also find the vetting commitee\u2019s investigation into the alleged Ashaiman membership of the aspirant inconclusive, as no effort was made by the committee to authenticate the said alleged membership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Djokoto said he had dutifully served the NDC in the Keta Constituency and was aware that most members and executives valued truth, honesty and intergrity, hence the need for a fair and just resolution of the matter.<\/p>\n

Any decision on Dr Jones Mensah\u2019s legibility or otherwise \u201cmay adversely affect me as a candidate in the election,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder the circumstances, I believe that it will be prudent for the appeals committee to lay this matter to rest to forestall any legal tussle that can arise from same.\u201d<\/p>\n
