Information reaching Kasapafmonline.com indicates that delegates attending the ongoing National congress of the All Peoples Congress (APC) at the International Conference Centre in Accra were allegedly hired and bused to the congress grounds.

Most of the participants were reportedly conveyed to the venue from from Nima, Nungua and Teshie and were given tags as delegates.

The party which is founded by former Peoples National Convention Presidential Candidate, Hassan Ayariga is holding its congress to elect National Officers and a Flagbearer for the upcoming November elections.

Scores of people who have converged at the venue appears not to know anything about the party. Several children are also witnessing the event.

No official of the party has so far been available to speak to the issue.

Almost all the political parties have sent representatives to the congress to give their solidarity messages but conspicuously absent are the ruling NDC and largest opposition NPP.

Hassan Ayariga who led the PNC in the 2012 election broke away from the party and formed the APC after he lost the PNC flagbearership position to enable him led the party for the 2016 polls.

He lost the slot to veteran politician and gynecologist Dr. Edward Mahama.
