NPP MP primaries: Reserving seats for Gas good idea – Ayikoi Otoo

Former Attorney General Nii Ayikoi Otoo has supported the decision of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to reserve some seats in the Greater Accra Region for indigenous Gas.

“I think that it is a good idea to bring the Gas on board to let them know that the NPP is not anti-Ga,” Mr. Ayikoi Otoo told Starr News Tuesday.

Some of the seats being considered to be reserved for Gas include Ngleshie Amanfrom, Ledzokuku, Krowor and Odododiodoo.

Currently the Ledzokuku, Odododiodoo and Krowor seats are being occupied by members of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC).

They are Mrs. Benita Sena Okity-Duah, Nii Lantey Vanderpuije, and Dr. Nii Oakley Quaye-Kumah, respectively.

Mr Ayikoi Otoo–a Ga, who contested the Krowor seat in 2008 but lost said reserving some strategic seats for Gas will help give true meaning to a Ga caucus in parliament.

The former Minister of Justice said he knows of only four Gas who are currently occupying seats in the Greater Accra region, a situation which he noted is uncomplimentary of the indigenous people.
