The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has urged the people of the Guan area to hold the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) accountable for their denial of a parliamentary representative during the 2020 elections.
He described the omission of Santrokofi, Akpafu, Likpe, and Lolobi (SALL) from the electoral process as a deliberate wrongdoing by the government that warrants punishment, as reported by 3news.com.
“I want to urge you to vote massively with anger against the NPP—the reason is that since independence, we have never had an occasion where, in an election, a certain group of people will be denied the right to choose their representative to parliament.
“It is only Guan constituency where the people have been treated as second-class citizens of this country and you must revolt by your vote to demonstrate that you will not allow yourselves to be treated as second-class citizens,” he stressed.
Mr Asiedu Nketiah added that despite multiple efforts to enable the Guan area residents to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections, some individuals and groups are secretly attempting to obstruct the process.
