Leaders of the students group said the list of persons submitted to the committee by the regional youth organizer are persons either not schooling in the institutions they are purported to or are not known in the NPP within the region.
“Majority of the list the Regional Youth Organizer has presented DO NOT school in their institution whereas others are not known in Bono East NPP. We write to plead with the committee to not just consider the list frivolous but treat it with the necessary contempt,” they added.
Attached to their petition is a list of individuals who according to the petitioners is the true list of TESCON presidents in the Bono East Region and are eligible to participate in the upcoming elections.
The ruling NPP has scheduled July 15 to 17 to hold its national executives election at the Accra Sports Stadium.
