Following the results from some polling stations in the Kumawu by-election, the Member of Parliament for South Dayi in the Volta Region, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor has questioned the loyalty of National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch executives at the Kumawu constituency in the Ashanti Region.
The results from some polling stations indicate that the NDC candidate, Kwasi Amankwaa got some three and four votes in some polling stations.
Meanwhile, the NDC has a minimum of nine members in every polling station, who are holding party positions and have their names on the party’s register and are supposed to work and increase membership for the party.
The NDC organises its grassroots from the branches which represents polling stations.
At every branch [polling station] in a constituency, the NDC has nine executives representing every branch.
Per Mr Dafeamekpor’s argument, if for nothing at all, the least the NDC candidate should have gotten from every polling station was nine votes in the Kumawu by-election but per the results, the party and candidate got three and four votes in some polling stations.
He has indicated that he was part of the Ashanti Region Reorganisation Project of the NDC in 2022, and therefore from what has been witnessed in Kumawu, he was calling for a “re-audit” of the NDC register and “Branch Executives.”
In a tweet, Mr Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor wrote: “The Kumawu results have poured in quick & fast. I was part of the Ashanti Reg Reorganization Project in 2022 but these Kumawu Votes shows we’ve to re-Audit our Register & Branch Executives. We’ve 9 Executives but has 3 & 4 Votes in some branches so where are our 9 Ndc Executives?”
