Angry supporters of the embattled National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George have accused his opponent, E.T Mensah and the Greater Accra regional chairman of the party Ade Coker of masterminding his suspension.
The ruling NDC, last week Thursday, suspended the aspiring member of Parliament for the Ningo Prampram constituency, Sam George.
The Greater Accra regional executive took the decision following allegation of verbal attack on them.
This means that the two constituencies do not have parliamentary candidates.

However, one of his supporters, has said the latest decision, if not rescinded, will affect the fortunes of the party in the upcoming elections.
“The people went to the polls and have elected who they want. All this suspension and other things are coming from E.T Mensah, he has compromised the executives, it is clear. The party and regional executives have been cajoled by one person and it’s clear where it is coming from. None of the executives came to the constituency during the elections. They just want to paint Sam George in a bad light,” he told Accra-based Starr FM.
Prior to the NDC primaries, Sam George alleged that his name and that of other 3,000 delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have been deleted from the voters’ register.
He claims residents in the area are therefore calling for a suspension of polls as a result of the development.

“The party set up an entry removal mechanism. The entry removal form is not meant to just remove anybody but people who are known not to be members of the party… so on what basis was this entry removal form filled?”
