Muntaka is a threat to Asawase NDC – Asawase Constituency Chairman

Muntaka Mubarak, the area's member of parliament, has been reprimanded by National Democratic Congress (NDC) constituency chairman Faisal Dawudu for refusing to take part in a purported constituency unity walk.

In the lead-up to the constituency primary, the legislator is said to have instructed his followers not to take part in the walk intended to bring together rival groups.

On Sunday, May 28, the majority of the party's members participated in the walk, but the MP was noticeably absent.

"The goal of this walk is to rally the party's whole membership around a single cause: triumph in 2024. However, despite my invitation to the MP, he chose not to attend," said Faisal Dauda, the NDC constituency chairman for Asawase.

To  the constituency chairman, the MP is not showing leadership and is not ready to bring unity to the party.


“”It is very unfortunate that as a sitting MP and the parliamentary candidate elect for the constituency instead of him to unite the party, he is rather agitating against his opponent who lost the contest with him. His actions appear divisive”, Faisal decried.


Muntaka’s contender in the parliamentary primaries, Masawudu Mubarick, noted the outcome of the election was the will of the people.


He expressed his readiness to support and campaign for thr NDC parliamentary and presidential candidates for a massive win.


“I don’t see my loss as a rejection by the people. It only indicates that majority of the people want Hon. Muntaka to continue. I want to reaffirm my commitment to the party and to tell my supporters to rally behind the parliamentary candidate elect and John Mahama for victory in 2024”.


The NDC in Asawase is hoping to retain its seat in a decisive manner and also annex the vote of its presidential candidate.
