Tension Rock at Sekyere  Kumawu NPP Office As Thugs Vandalised Party Properties Over Internal Elections Nomination Forms


Thugs vandalised and burnt beyond recognition items from the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP)'s office in Kumawu constituency in Ashanti region of Ghana on Thursday, February 24, 2022.

According to report, the criminal acts instigated by the constituency chairman Joseph Danso, secretary Fredua Agyeman and one Akoto (Research and Elections) started unfolding on Thursday, February 17, 2022 when officers at the regional party office in Kumasi were physically prevented from following due processes in giving out nomination forms towards polling station executives elections.

They continued their conducts with impunity by organising thugs to storm the constituency office Saturday, February 19, 2022 to stop the release of nomination forms to polling station coordinators.

Mr. Danso had been (contrary to party modalities) demanding half of the nomination forms to be distributed himself, a development that the regional representative and constituency Election committee for Polling Stations and Electoral area coordinators , rightly objected to. Mr. Ameyaw was compelled to return the forms to Kumasi and later returned to Kumawu to make sure that polling station coordinators received them for onward release to polling station executive hopefuls.

But before midday Friday, February 25, 2022 constituency chairman Joseph Danso, secretary Fredua Agyeman, one Akoto (Research and Elwctions), in the company of three "macho men" from outside the constituency, massed up others to vandalise the office and set the items on fire. Not even president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's branding materials were spared.

"We burnt all the party items, " assemblyman for Oyoko electoral area, Fareed Ofori, confessed to Kessben News on Thursday.

One of the "macho men" nicknamed 2Face slapped and chased a constituent, Adu Johnson, into someone's room. Another constituent, Yaw Boakye, was pounced on by the district National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) director, Emmanuel Obeng, and his thugs.

The two victims went to the Kumawu police station for medical forms and took them to the Kumawu Polyclinic where they got treated and discharged on Thursday.

It should be noted that Sefa Tweneboa and Samuel Agyeman who are driver and aide respectively to the district chief executive (DCE), Samuel Addai Agyekum, helped the "macho men" to identity and attack constituents.

  NPP And NDC Playing "Chaskele"  With EC... Rev Dr Worlanyo Mensah Tensions between Ghana's Electoral Commission (EC), National Democratic Congress (NDC), and New Patriotic Party (NPP) have escalated over alleged discrepancies in the 2024 voter register. Rev Dr Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, vice presidential candidate for the All People's Congress (APC), economist and a lecture at Wisconsin university Accra, has warned that the NDC and NPP's actions during the limited voter registration and special transfer of vote exercise have compromised the register's integrity. "The two major parties were bussing people from their homes to registration centers, encouraging minors and foreigners to register," Dr. Worlanyo alleged. The NDC recently raised concerns upon receiving the provisional voters register, citing bloated electoral rolls in certain polling stations and alleged attempts by the EC to rig the December 7 polls in favor of the governing NPP.
