The Member of for Wulensi, Stanley Yaw Nandaya, has opened up about intense pressure and even threats from his constituents that pushed him to contest the 2024 general election outside his party, the (NDC).
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on Tuesday, June 24, the independent MP disclosed that after losing the NDC parliamentary primaries, he initially withdrew from active politics in the constituency, hoping party leaders would step in to reconcile with grassroots supporters.
However, he said the party's efforts at mending relations backfired, further deepening the rift and fueling public anger. "The party had an issue with me, but the people who vote or are looking for a leader have that power," citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said.
According to Nandaya, after the primaries, he intentionally kept a low profile to allow party officials to lead reconciliation talks.
