The NPP Executives of Krobo Block in the Eastern Region which comprises of Lower Manya Krobo, Upper Manya Krobo, Yilo Krobo and Asuogyman Constituency has held a press conference to encounter the allegations which was levelled against them by the NDC Executives of the same block.

It can be recalled that on last week Saturday July 11,2020 the NDC Executives of the Krobo Block held a press conference and accused the NPP Gov’t for bringing huge security personnels to intimidate their constituents to prevent them from coming out to register their names in the ongoing voters registration exercise.

They also said, the NPP Executives of the Krobo Block are busing strangers to have their names registered in the new voters register.

Responding to all these allegations during their press conference which was addressed by the NPP Asuogyman Constituency Secretary Mr. Christian Addo said, it is not true. Rather it is the NDC executives who are busing strangers to the various polling centres to register them and we won’t allow such people to register.

After the Press Conference, Kingdom FM’s KONTIHEN KOFI OBOH had an interview with the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for Asuogyman Constituency who double as the Technical Advisor to the Transport Ministry, Mr. Paul Asare Ansah heavily accused the North Tongu MP for NDC in the V/R Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa for assisting the NDC MP and PC for Asuogyman to bus people from his constituency to come and register at old Akrade in the Asuogyman Constituency to help him retain the seat on December 7,2020 general elections.

He said, Hon Okudzeto Ablakwa took Hon. Ampem Nyarko to one of his villages called ‘Ogoly’ to meet the Chiefs and beg of them to come and support his friend Hon. Ampem Nyarko in Asuogyman, because as for him (Okudzeto Ablakwa) , his people will vote for him massively to win the 2020 parliamentary seat.

‘So I and the North Tongu PC for NPP who double as their DCE for the Assembly Hon. Richard Collins Arku went to the Ogoly to meet the people over there and asked them not to come to Old Akrade to register their names but some sneak in and have their names registered,’ he emphasized.

He further stressed, what saddened him most is’, some of the police officers in Asuogyman are also supporting Hon. Ampem Nyarko to achieve his bad intention by busing strangers into the constituency to take party of the ongoing new voters registration exercise.

Hon. Paul Ansah adds, we have to allow the real citizens of Asuogyman to vote and elect someone who think about the development of Asuogyman not the strangers. Because the strangers can’t decide for us who should be our MP. Moreover our Asuogyman destiny is not in the hands of the foreigners.

All the NPP PCs of Krobo Block were at the Press Conference including their secretaries and chairpersons.
