Constituency Executives Refuse To Receive My Nomination Forms - NDC Parliamentary Aspirant Hopeful Complains

The Parliamentary aspirant of the National Democratic Congress NDC in the Upper Manya Krobo constituency, Hon. Jeff Tetteh Kavianu has accused Constituency and some Regional Executives of the party for their refusal to accept his nomination forms in both the constituency and the Regional levels.

Hon. Jeff Tetteh Kavianu, former Member of Parliament for Upper Manya Krobo, seeking to contest the incumbent NDC MP picked his nomination forms earlier this year but has not been able to file it due to what he described as foul play by the Constituency Executives.

But shockingly, the Parliamentary hopeful revealed that, several attempts made to submit his nomination forms to both the Constituency Office and the Region Office have proved futile despite the directives by the party's leadership that nomination forms should be submitted within 20th and 22nd March, 2023.

Speaking to the media at the party's Regional office in Koforidua after the second attempt to submit his nomination forms had falied, Hon. Jeff Tetteh Kavianu accused the NDC Upper Manya Krobo Constituency Executives as well as the Regional Secretary of a deliberate attempt to sideline him from contesting the incumbent Member of Parliament hence their failure to open the party office to receive his nomination forms.



According to him , after the incumbent MP submitted his forms on Sunday 19th March , 2023 the Upper Manya Krobo Constituency Office has since not been opened for other parliamentary aspirant to also do same.



He lamented that, the Constituency Executives after locking up the Constituency Office have refused to respond to his calls therefore he was instructed by the Regional Secretary to submit to the Regional Office but upon reaching the Regional Office on Wednesday 22nd March,2023 the same Regional Secretary not present at the office instructed the administrators on mobile phone not to receive the forms.

He showed evidence of copies of his already filed nomination forms which indicated that he has successfully gone through the processes of which 94 out of 114 branch members have endorsed representing 80% instead of the stipulated 50% requirement by the party.

Hon. Jeff Tetteh Kavianu on the bases of what has transpired described the actions of the Constituency Executives as undemocratic.

He however called on the leadership of the party, the National Chairman and the General Secretary to immediately intervene to ensure that fairness prevail to prevent any possible future disunity in the party in Upper Manya Krobo.
