A delegate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Tema West constituency has voiced her disappointment over the amount she received at the polling center on Saturday, January 27, 2024, during the ongoing parliamentary primaries.
In a video making rounds on social media, the delegate who noted that she was expecting between GHS1,000 and GHS2,000 noted that what she received was “below the belt.”
“Honourable Carlos has killed us. I’ve run at a loss. Look, last four years, considering what my MP paid and the TV I received, if I add the two together, the amount I received today is nowhere close. I’ve really run at a loss. I was expecting to get between GHS1,000 – 2,000, but what I received is below the belt,” she lamented in the video.
The delegate highlighted her financial expectations and the perceived disparity between the current payment and what she received during the previous election cycle. She conveyed her anticipation for the chairman to rectify the situation by adding the balance, stating, “I am currently waiting for the chairman to add the balance so that at least I can have like GHS1K; otherwise, I’m dead.”
This expression of dissatisfaction sheds light on the intricacies of party politics and the expectations of delegates during crucial events such as parliamentary primaries. The financial dynamics within political parties often come under scrutiny, and the concerns raised by this delegate may reflect broader sentiments within the constituency and the party as a whole.
