The Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Wassa Amenfi East in Western Region has called on the supporters and sympathiser of the NDC to ignore any evil attempt that divides attention and blackmails the NDC Parliamentary candidate in the constituency.
Some of the NDC Executives
The National Democratic Congress in a press conference on Thursday August 20, 2020 at the party office, has reaffirmed the settling on Hon. Nicholas Amankwah as a parliamentary candidate on the ticket of the NDC come 2020 general elections.
A week ago, over 50 Polling Station and a group calling itself Concerned NDC Youth in Wassa Amenfi East held a press conference calling on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the NDC to reconsider the decision of allowing the former District Chief Executive Hon. Nicholas Amankwah to go unopposed.
According to the leader of the Youth group Mr Kofi Atokyi, the declaration of the former DCE hon Nicholas Amankwa to go unopposed affirmed NDC defeat to the NPP in the constituency come 2020 elections.
The NDC youth in their statement describes the current Western regional party chairman Nana Toku and the former Wassa Amenfi East NDC MP hon AKwasi Oppong Fosu as “Anti-Mahama” whose their actions predicts the NDC 2020 flag bearer’s defeat.
Mr Nana Kofi Atokyi preferred candidate, Mr. Rex Asamoah Twum was disqualified by the Party’s Western regional executives from taking part in the race by series of allegations charged against him.
Meanwhile, the current constituency NDC secretary, Mr. Ignatius Boahene responding to the youth leader in a press conference on Thursday, describes Mr Kofi Atokyi, as the real “Anti-Mahama and Evil plotter” against the NDC party.
“Per our checks, Mr. Atokyi is not a real party man, he crossed the carpet from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the year 2008.”
He continued that, “thereafter, he (Mr Atokyi) had the opportunity to contest as a Vice chairman of the NDC party which he is now fighting against some key top party leaders” he stated.
Addressing the media, the Secretary accused the former constituency NDC Vice Chairman for doing the job of his paymasters from the NPP party by campaigning to suppress the NDC fortunes in the constituency and NDC 2020 presidential candidate, John Dramani Mahama’s victory.
He alleges that Chairman Nana Kofi Atokyi on several occasion attend meetings with the NPP and a well-known ‘galamsey’ Kingpin who is currently in a neck-deep galamsey activities with some top NPP gurus in Amenfi East constituency.
Mr. Ignatius Boahene clearly stated that Mr. Nana Kofi Atokyi is not and has not been a financier and a diehard supporter of the Party (NDC) since 2013.
He therefore called on the public to ignore any agenda of destruction by Mr. Nana Kofi Atokyi and remain focus to rescue Amenfi East from the mess caused by the Nana Addo and the NPP government.

Hon. Dept Edu Min and her entourage
“So I’m begging you, let this school be a school and do your politics but please and please again don’t bring in education because I get worried, today this person will be calling me, Abena this, Abena that, no! I don’t want to meddle in politics, I don’t want any of my schools to get into politics, we have a whole MP who is also the deputy minister of education, so why do we do this to ourselves because of power? Don’t tarnish somebody’s reputation. If you don’t take care and they cancel the children’s papers because you said BNI was here, this was there, that is WAEC’s own decision, it is not the MP that brought the invigilators here and it is not me because we’ve given that contract to WAEC to do it for us, so please and please again take politics out of our education” Mrs Abena Gyamerah cautioned.
Responding to the allegations, the headmaster of Only Believe SHS, Mr George Darko, disassociated the school from the alleged comments and said the school runs on purely Ghana Education Service’s standards devoided of party politics.

We will also look at the next step to take to avert this issue.” Mr George Darko.
