Tema NPP denies clearing Carlos Ahenkorah

The Greater Accra Regional leadership of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has rejected the report which cleared some  Parliamentary aspirants  who were disqualified by the Vetting Committee.

The decision by the NPP’s Appeals Committee to clear some disqualified parliamentary aspirants has been rejected by the Greater Accra Regional leadership of the party.

Led by regional chairman Ishmael Ashittey, at a press conference, the Greater Accra NPP explained that the report reinstating the disqualified aspirants showed pervasive “inconsistencies” and “a lot of mistakes”.

The NPP’s Appeals Committee after deliberations cleared some disqualified aspirants including one Carlos Ahenkorah of the a Tema West constituency to contest the primaries.

According to Ashitey, there are a lot of “inconsistencies, a lot of mistakes here and there that we feel we should not allow this report to stand so we are rejecting the report.”

The regional chairman said a letter has been written to the Appeals Committee asking them to be “impartial, fair and objective in their deliberations because we have seen some contradictions here and there.”
