Dadekotopon MP with his Chairman will steal the primaries IF

*DADEKOTOPON CHAIRMAN and NAMOALE CONIVES WITH EC OFFICIALS TO CREATE 30 POLLING STATIONS BEFORE ELECTIONS TO GRAB MORE DELEGATES FOR NAMOALE*

* *

Deep throat sources can confirm that Dadekotopon Executive caucus and the Electoral Commission at La have collaborated to create extra 30 polling stations behind the Trade Fair area and Burma Camp Area to assist the sitting MP to win the elections because he has lost the trust of the current executives and delegates. At the moment they are selecting their favorites to swear them in as new executives of these new polling stations so they can manipulate votes for the sitting MP. This is against the constitution of the NDC party.

The Chairman Magnus Anyetei with the help of his lieutenants are swiftly sending new forms around the constituency to also change the names of branch executives. Meanwhile these executives were sworn in so many years ago and it only takes the chairman a form to change those that have been elected into authority. This is being done because of heated agitations from branch executives when the constituency executives together with the MP went round to visit their ward to seek their mandate for the past 6-8 weeks. Any person who exhibits any sign that you are not happy with the way the constituency and the MP has handled LA then you are a target for change. The Chairman sends new form around and before you become aware he chooses new executives without the knowledge of the real and sworn in executives of the branch. This has already started war amongst branches because chairmen are being dethroned and common members are made chairmen and executives overnight. The Party has no office in La and the chairman has been swearing these new executives in his house at Palm wine junction near the Tro Tro station.

This situation in La Dadekotopon is a recipe for trouble if checks and stops are not taken. This can only bring about confusion during the primaries elections because the real delegates have been changed and on that day of voting there will be big fights as to who has a vote and who doesn’t have. The Constituency chairman, Magnus Anyitei has been heard saying that he is the chairman and what he says is final meanwhile the NDC party constitution doesn’t say that what he is doing is right. They only want to satisfy their parochial and selfish interest with the help of some Regional and National executives.

Our deep throat sources also say Magnus Anyitei has been given a huge sum of money by the sitting MP, Namoale from which he is disbursing from the Unibank, Osu Branch to do make sure he wins the primaries. The Chairman has been also heard saying it’s a do and die affair for them this time around.

After interacting with party faithful and branch executives in the constituency they are all aware of these revelations but they cannot do anything about it. They are all suggesting the following guidelines be added to the Party guidelines when it comes to La Dadekotopon and the NDC across Ghana to ensure free and fair elections otherwise there will be big trouble in the NDC stronghold.

*• A Pictorial Delegates Voters Register with contact numbers of delegates *

* *

*• Every delegate will have to present his/her National Voters register to the Electoral commissioner representative to prove his or her identity in the constituency before voting like it’s done during national voting*

* *

*• The voters register should be arranged in order of electoral area by electoral area to allow transparency because it is mixed up to enable cheating*

* *

*• Contestants and participants in the contest should receive the pictorial delegates list immediately after they file nominations*

* *

*• Same day voting in the region so everybody can mind his or her business in the constituency.*
