A petition has been submitted by a party activist to Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, expressing serious concerns regarding the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Parliamentary Candidate for the Aowin Constituency, Abanga Yakubu Fuseini.
The petition raises various issues that could potentially hinder the party’s chances of winning the seat from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the upcoming elections.
The activist points out that Mr. Abanga has been noticeably absent since the commencement of the limited registration exercise. In contrast to the other eight parliamentary candidates in the region, Mr. Abanga has not actively participated in constituency activities.
His absence was particularly evident during the Vice President’s recent visit to the region, where all other parliamentary candidates were present except for him. Furthermore, Mr. Abanga has not spent a continuous week in the constituency, making it challenging for constituents to become familiar with him.
He has also been absent from significant social events such as funerals and religious programs, which are crucial for establishing a connection with the electorate.
The petition suggests that if Mr. Abanga finds the role too demanding, he should allow the party to replace him with a more dedicated candidate to avoid disappointing both the party and its presidential candidate.
It calls upon the party leadership to promptly address Mr. Fuseini’s lack of involvement and motivate him to work harder. The activist warns that if Mr. Fuseini’s behavior remains unchanged, a significant demonstration will be organized against him.
The petition emphasizes that the party’s efforts in the region, including infrastructural developments like the Enchi – Dadieso Road, Kordjour – Pakyi Road, and the construction of an AstroTurf Park at Enchi, should not be in vain due to the negligence of one candidate.
The activist concludes by appealing to Vice President Bawumia to promptly address these issues to ensure the NPP’s success in the Aowin Constituency.
