The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Odododiodioo parliamentary vetting in the South La Regional Office, was thrown into chaos on Friday, October 13.
There was a violent confrontation between supporters of two the aspirants, Nii Okai Laryea, Kotey Ashie, and Michael Nii Yarboi Annang. The angry supporters destroyed the party’s properties.
“They are being biassed. The NDC National Executives are being biassed,” one of the party members said angrily.
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman has vowed to ensure that perpetrators of the violence are brought to book.
Three persons officially submitted their nominations to contest for the parliamentary slot.
The incumbent MP, Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, decided not to contest the race again.
Nii Adjebu Lamptey, NDC’s NDC Elections Committee for Odododiodio Constituency earlier advised the supporters of the three aspirants to be circumspect about their utterances during the campaigns.
According to him, it’s an internal contest and they must comport themselves for the exercise.
“NDC members and supporters, what we are doing now is internal competition, and we pray that all of them will comport themselves so that we can have a peaceful election.”
“The filing of nominations has been very peaceful, and we expect that it will continue like that. On Friday there will be vetting at the regional party office, and on October 31, the elections will come on as planned.”
