MOST OF the independent parliamentary candidates in the Ashanti Region are being sponsored by the ruling NDC, top NPP member has alleged.
Kennedy Kankam, the NPP parliamentary candidate for Nhyiaeso Constituency in Kumasi, made the wild allegation whilst addressing NPP members.
He said the NDC planned to snatch seats from NPP in the Ashanti Region, and have adopted the strategy of sponsoring independent candidates.
Kankam observed that the ruling political party was strategically pushing independent candidates at constituencies where NPP won with slim margins.
He said the independent candidates that the NDC was sponsoring were all claiming to be NPP members, in order to sway votes from the NPPs original candidates.
Kankam, who was speaking at the Asawase Constituency NPP campaign launch on Sunday, said “it is not true that those independent candidates are NPP members”.
He therefore urged the electorates to vote against all those imposters so that their ambition of reducing NPP parliamentary candidates’ votes would fail.
“Where were these so-called independent candidates who are claiming to be NPP members when the NPP were having their primaries?” he asked.
Kankam entreated the electorates to vote massively for Nana Akufo-Addo and all NPP parliamentary candidates to form the next government.
He stated that Nana Akufo-Addo’s ‘one-district one-factory’ promise is possible, warning the NDC and President Mahama not to steal the policy.
Kankam asserted that the NDC could not properly implement the NPP policies they (NDC) stole in the past, saying that “the NDC are bad managers.”
Christened as ‘People’s Forum’, the highly attended campaign launch was transmitted live on Ashh FM and it was graced by party kingpins.
