National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team member, Kwaku Asafo Adjei has strongly criticized the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for allowing former GFA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi to participate in the upcoming primaries.
In an interview on Nhyira FM, Adjei expressed deep concern over Nyantakyi’s candidacy, labelling it as disturbing and questioning the NPP’s judgement in granting such visibility to someone with a criminal record.
Adjei accused the NPP of lacking respect for justice by allowing Nyantakyi, who has been caught on live camera engaging in criminal activities, to vie for the Ejisu seat.
“How can Kwasi Nyantakyi be allowed to contest for the Ejisu seat considering his criminal background? To even believe he is an NPP member shows how corrupt the NPP is. This man is given media platforms to speak despite being caught on live camera committing crimes. This is so wrong,” Adjei emphasized.
Nyantakyi has declared his intention to contest for the Ejisu seat following the passing of the deputy finance minister, John Kumah.
Additionally, nine independent candidates have also announced their candidacy for the vacant seat.

He who is not corrupt in Ghana politics should throw the first stone at Kwesi Nyantakyi. Shame for talking about corruption when ourselves, our leaders and party are worst, hypocrisy is all we get. Leave him alone and allow him have his peace.
Corruption background? Then John Dramani Mahama should not be standing for the highest office of the land. Remove the beam in your eye first.
