Asawase constituents divided over removal of NDC parliamentary leadership

Some expect the removed Members of Parliament to accept the decision of the party hierarchy, but others remain aggrieved and want the decision rescinded.

Some displeased members of the NDC in the Asawase constituency on Wednesday marched to the party office in the Ashanti Region to express their displeasure against the party leadership.

They burnt car tyres to demonstrate their anger in the removal of their Member of Parliament, Muntaka Mubarak, as the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament.

A member of the party, Yakubu Issah, wants the party  executives to rescind their decision.

“We are hearing some party executives want Muntaka Mubarak to lose his seat but we will protect it with our blood,” he alleged.

Calm has been restored at the regional party office after Wednesday’s protest against the removal of the MP from the Minority leadership in parliament.

“We Northerners have had our fair share, it is time for other tribes and region, National Executives’ decision was in the best interest of the party and we must accord it with all the respect it deserves,” he added.
