Social commentator, Nana Frimpong Ziega, has shared details of events that allegedly transpired during an attempt to change the result of the just-ended New Patriotic Party (NPP) national executive election's vice-chairmanship race.

Nana Frimpong Ziega, who said he is the uncle of Kojo Fosu Boadu, the winner of the vice-chairmanship race, popularly known as Kojo Bamba, said that his nephew rejected a move for the result to be changed for him to take third position.

“He did something at the Kumasi Sports Stadium, which justifies that he is ready; he is not going to be compromised. Do you know that after the election they wanted to overturn the results? They wanted to overturn it so he (Kojo Bamba) comes third because of the two people who he was ahead of, Nana Akomea and Nana B.

“They tried doing this because he (Kojo Bamba) had served Nana B, and Nana Akomea started politics when he (Bamba) was not even in politics. They couldn’t afford to allow Kojo Bamba to be ahead, so they called him and said, ‘Kojo, this is the situation, help us. Let us put you in third position’,” he narrated.

Ziega said that Kojo threatened to ransack the Kumasi Sports Stadium, where the primaries were held, should any attempt be made to subvert the will of the NPP delegates.

“He (Kojo Bamba) told them that, ‘I have 150 macho men at the stadium who are watching what is happening. They know that I’m first. If you make the mistake of changing the results, we would turn the whole stadium upside down.’ And people vanished,” he added.

He added that the flagbearer of the party, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, knew nothing about the plan.
