Some supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party in the Adansi Asokwa Constituency of the Ashanti Region have besieged the party office to register their resentment over the purported intimidation of a parliamentary hopeful, Kwabena Asamoah.
Mr. Asamoah is the Deputy Chief Executive in charge of Finance and Administration at the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre under President Akufo-Addo-led administration.
He was hauled before the party’s disciplinary committee chaired by the Constituency Chairman, Kwame Owusu for donating a set of hand driers and cash to the association of hairdressers in honor of their invitation seeking his support without issuing a prior notice to the party.
The aggrieved supporters therefore challenged the summon, describing it as utterly ridiculous.
According to them, the incumbent Member of Parliament, Honourable Kobina Tahir Hammond popularly known as K. T. Hammond is scheming to scare off any potential aspirants ahead of the party’s Parliamentary Primaries through the party’s constituency executives.
However, calming the nerves of his followers down after appearing before the disciplinary committee, Mr. Asamoah noted that the committee had cleared him of any wrongdoing for supposedly declaring his intent.
He said the meeting was very friendly, so he called for cooperation with the party and asked his supporters to keep calm and support the party as they go forward for victory in the 2024 general election.
